(...) Chris, Fair enough. I thought you were a NQC fan/user, that is why I mentioned it. I too would welcome something VB/VBscript-like based as well.

(...) Chris, Have you seen/tried RobotC yet? I have been toying around with it (after trying NBC for oh... 10 minutes then giving up - Assembly is not my forte) and it is much like BriXCC / NQC.
