Robolab 2.0 will allow you to float the motors using a graphical language with
the native lego firmware. Once you install Robolab 2.0, go to the Project
Install Extras to use the full menus. One advantage of Robolab is it has nine
different levels of difficulty to help people learn programming and the RCX.
The easiest levels are called Pilot levels in which the number of commands is
very limited. The harder levels are called Inventor, with the float motor
commands on Inventor 4 with the extras installed.
The downside of Robolab is it costs more than NQC. Another downside is not as
many people are using Robolab, so you will get better help on Lugnet with NQC
questions than Robolab at this time. Even still, consider spending a few
dollars to get Robolab, an educational grade graphic programming language for
the RCX.
