| Thanks Philippe. You definitely asked the questions that I was thinking about and I pretty well understood the answers except I was a little puzzled by the need for "follows" as well. However, we definitely lost functionality in this area with NXT. (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

| After the release of the source code for NXT firmware version 1.04, I was wondering if anyone is considering to open a community project to create an improved firmware. I think an improved firmware which is compatible with version 1.04 opcodes (so (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
