No - NQC is an independently developed OpenSource package - it has nothing to
do with the Lego company.
Thus, technically, it's a non-Lego part and is ruled out by FLL.
Personally, I think that's kinda stupid because the byte-code that ends up
in the RCX is the same whether you generate it with a Lego software package
or a third-party package.
Disallowing NQC is analagous to disallowing Lego models designed on a CAD
system...but that's the rules, stupid or otherwise.

| (...) I have no idea who or what the governing body of FLL is. I can understand trying to create a level playing field for FLL events. That makes sense, after all, a group that can go out and spend large sums of money on lots of motors and sensors (...) (19 years ago, 6-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)
