Mr Irwin I am looking at buying Robolab software for my 16 year old son to use
in Homeschooling.
My question is this what kind of sensors can robolab use? Touch, Temp,Light,
angle, rotation.
Just trying to compare capabilities to other software packages written for
mindstorms such as Botcode, Brick Command, RCX Control, RCX Command Center,
and Gordons Brick Programmer. My son has ADD and is a VERY visual, hands on
learner so I am leaning twords the more graphical interface approach rather
the typing of code which most of the programs mentioned are. Any other
comments you might have would be appreciated.
Thank You
Jim Clark

This paper, and another one I wrote called "Systems Engineering and K-12
Education: A New Perspective" (about some pre-ROBOLAB lego work) can both
be found at http://ldaps.ivv.nasa.gov/ under "publications"

(...) ROBOLAB can use all 4 of the LEGO sensors you mentioned, as can every software package out there for the RCX, as far as I know. (angle and rotations are two facets of the same sensor) (...) ROBOLAB can be more frustrating and require more (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
