I'm  a newbie and am sure this has been answered before but why (as an individual developer) would I want to use Robolab as opposed to the individual Mindstorms Software that comes w/RCX?  I guess the bottomline is - Is it worth an extra $69?

On that same note what 3rd party platform is best to develop RCX on (leJOS, NQC, .Net, etc.)?

One more question - now that NXT is out are we seeing a surplus of RCX's at very reduced prices?

Tom:

1) Is Robolab a standalone program our must you have Labview installed too?

RoboLab is standalone program (include LabView cutted)



2) Where do I get a copy of Robolab?  I see they have an upgrade kit at the
Lego store for version 2.9 but no copies of the original available.

Actual version for RCX is 2.5.4 you can buy at www.legoeducation.com (US$69)
look under LEGO MINDSTORMS for Schools (Not NXT)

The new upgrade 2.9 supports RCX and the new NXT (but no bluetooth feature)

There's a question! I thought the same myself, so I looked around to see if there was something like an evaluation copy, but there were none. I ended up 'borrowing' a copy. If I really like it I may still buy it. linmix (...) (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.robotics)
