Brothers

Two sets of brothers have been named All Stars Footballer of the Year. They are:

gollark: You probably do need to know your actual coordinates to navigate if there's an obstruction or something.
gollark: Also, it being a "set cord" doesn't mean you can magically avoid complex navigation things, although I suppose if you don't need it to come back you can probably just... feed it coords relative to its start position, or something.
gollark: Yes. The docs are awful because ~~OC bad~~.
gollark: Anyway, just because you can describe it in natural language in a few sentences doesn't mean it's something you can *program* easily and simply.
gollark: I'm totally prepared to handle the answer. I designed CC orbital lasers.
