The stock class that used to allow parts from only 1 RCX based Mindstorm kit was changed to allow the NXT to compete against the RCX. NXT based (...)

Your best bet is to post this request on the CEEO web site. Someone there will surely answer. AFAIK, it's intended to be supported in all environments. (19 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)
