Being a Mac user I haven't had much of a chance to play with the software
provided by Lego but I did play with RoboLab some. One of the big
differences I could see is that RoboLab is more "verbose" than the
Mindstorm stuff. For example, if you want to set the comparison value
of an "if" block you need to drag in a little text "box" to type the
value into and wire/connect the text box to the "if" block. Same thing
goes for having to specify a sensor ID.
It looked to be like in the Mindstorm software the conditional block
contained in itself place to specify parameters.
Of course now the only thing I use RoboLab for is to download firmware
to the RCX and use Dave Baum's great NQCC for any programming.
