If one allows things that are not produced or distributed by lego, then
why can't one use non-official sensors? Why can't one drop the entire
default firmware? Heck, why does a person even have to use the RCX in

The actual solution is for Lego to make more of an effort at producing
platform independant development environments of their own, not for FLL
to allow NQC.

| (...) That's not a good reason at all. Robolab was not actually produced by LEGO. They happen to sell it on their website and they "partnered" with the actual producers of the software, Tufts University and National Instruments. They also happen to (...)
