Oh, It may be because of my cumbersome explanation. I do not have DDK and do not
know about that Scout abilities. But I still expect that it is limited to some
built-in programs only. Is it?

So, what programs do you think TLC should write?  And, how much would you pay for a
program?

What programs? It is tough question. Classics like line following and walker
would be a good start.

I personally, think that price of $10-20 for the sotware only would be a fine
deal. Provided that production costs are about $1-2 per item (it is why SD cards
are not so good - they cost at least $5-10).

(...) The Blue Scout can be programmed just like the RCX - you can use NQC and send programs to it in exactly the same way with the IR tower. The main difference is that the Scout has less memory - so only small programs will fit. (...) I'm *very* (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics)
