I don't know if you can write NQC program as you are so young, you can refer page at (URL) there is a (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

But to use the full power of the Scout you're going to need a transmitter for the PC. Lego or Ebay should have them. The (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)
