Robolab 2.0 is available from Pitsco for $27.50 for the programmer software
(Robolab 1.5 is still being sold for 25.00, but 2.0 is much better). For the
programmer software and User's guide they charge $50.00, but we figured the
software out without the user's guide. They sell the version of Robolab that
contains programmer and investigator for $49.00. The investigator software
is for datalogging.
Pitsco can be reached at 800-362-4308, or online at
www.pitsco-legodacta-store.com
Robolab programs look much like a flowchart. You drag symbols from the
Functions menu to the program area, and then connect these symbols together
using the "wire tool" from the tools menu. The process of wiring together
the symbols will create a design that is not only a program, but is a logic
flowchart. We skipped all the Pilot levels and went directly to the most
advanced/enabled level, Inventor 4. It didn't take my 11 year old much time
to figure out how to make programs without using the introductory levels,
and without a book.
In hindsight I would recommend starting at Pilot level 1 for people who have
never programmed. One can easily change the program level directly from the
program menus to advance to the next level. Pitsco does have a technical
support line for Robolab users.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to email or call me.
Good luck!
