    Why NQC over Robolab? —Thomas Johnson
   Greetings All, I'm hoping that someone who is familiar with both NQC and Robolab can enlighten me. Specifically, with regard to the RCX, Scout, and microScout, what can you do in NQC that you cannot do in Robolab? Is it simply a matter of (...) (20 years ago, 6-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)

     (...) I'm not very familiar with Robolab so I can't give you a direct comparison between the two. But I can say a few things about NQC that might help. With NQC you write programs in a more traditional style of programming (ala C, C++, C#, Java, (...) (20 years ago, 7-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)

   Hi, (...) Actually, I've only played with the Robolab demo version. First, Robolab is for working with the RCX. I saw no Scout or microscout support. The target of Robolab is the use in education, for example at schools. Robolab is related to (...) (20 years ago, 8-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)

     (...) I'm actually quite familiar w/Robolab--it is NQC that I don't know much about. Robolab (2.5.x) supports The RCX, Scout, microscout, and the Control Lab Interface. It also supports the LEGO cam. I believe the demo is of a much earlier and buggy (...) (20 years ago, 8-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)
