 | | Re: Future Direction Of LEGO.....
|
|
From what I have hear Lego should be moving in a new direction soon. They have a new individual heading up their web division (not responsible for the recent alterations of lego.com) and I think the marketing folks in general are paying a lot more (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

|
|
Hi, has anyone recently been able to put in (via Internet) an order at the LEGO World Shop? Since weeks, I am only getting a message about "technical difficulties" preventing them from processing orders. Is that for real? Thanks for any (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

Hi Zac, Dave Baum's NQC is excellent ... not quite the capabilities of pbForth, but *much* easier to learn. Mark Overmars' RCX-CC makes NQC even easier to use ... and best of all, both Dave and Mark have made their efforts available for use free of (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | New S@H catalog is a disappointment (to me)
|
|
I was happy to find a new S@H (Holiday Magic) Catalog in my mailbox today. However, after perusing and finding no sets I had not seen before I felt let down. I was hoping for some hints as to new sets for 2000, but there weren't any. At first (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'd recommend NQC; if you use visual basic, you'll need to go through a lot of communicating-with-the-brick and user-interface crap every time you want to make a program. With NQC, you concentrate on writing your code for the robot, and don't (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) What's next? Hmmmm.... (1) The continuation of prostituting of the Lego brand by putting it on everything from bedsheets to lousy computer games? (2) More and more commercial tie-ins to the point where there will be little or no original (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) After seeing all the cool stuff at Mindfest this weekend, I'll say this: 1. Learn about basic bot building using the graphical tools from LEGO 2. When you need more control, go to NQC 3. When you run out of variables or timers, etc go to (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Zac, I may not understand your objectives, but I'd say that using NQC with the Rcx Command Center RcxCC is the current best choice for work that is primarily concerned with programming the Rcx and Robots. You'll find it very easy to use, and there's (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi. Yes I mostly lurk, but what a great listserv this is!! I recently acquired a Robolab for my 8th grade science classes - WAY COOL. Also, I recently went to a Lego sponsored training workshop, where the Lego Rep. tells me that you can still get (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
