The funny thing is, all of rtlToronto's events have the same general premise: Build a robot that does something. Second, if you can make the robot do it well, (...)

(...) NQC compiles not quite C code into LEGO firmware opcodes. You download the .rcx result, and LEGO firmware interprets the program. This makes it slow. QuiteC and brickOS both use H8 native C compilers that spit out H8 assembly code directly. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
