It was a bit like hearding cats but I learned a few things from the experience. They're a bit young at (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics.edu)

(...) You can't possibly defend that position. ANYONE can have NQC for zero cost! It's an OpenSource project. Just download it from the NQC web site or use the brickcc tool from any web browser! You can even find links to it from the official Lego (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thanks for the kind words, Chris! I don't think un-bastardizing would be a good idea since the novelty of the model IS the fact that it is a combo of train and space. But I may do a stand-alone MOW later! Thanks again! Legoswami (21 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Nonsense. It's not the actual *code* that you need to understand - it's the ALGORITHM. Yeah - to the totally uninitiated, a bunch of boxes with an arrow pointing backwards tells you there is a loop - and maybe a 'for ( x = 0 ; x < 10 ; x++ )' (...)
