I am fairly new to Lego Mindstorms so forgive me if I end up beating a dead horse. I have a RIS 2.0 kit which, as you all know, comes with the USB tower. I plan on using MacNQC to code. Is it possible to do everything (code and transmit finished code to the USB Tower so it can upload to my RCX) without a PC? I was told that I can code using MacNQC but then I would have to transfer that code to a Windows machine, then upload that code from the Windows machine to my RCX.
