I have a Lego Mindstorms set and am interested in a more powerful GRAPHICAL
programming environment (I am familiar with language CODING options such as
NQC and VB). Can I order JUST the RoboLab software  (Lego part no. 2000050 I
believe)? Is there any reason why the RoboLab software cannot be used to
program the RCX with the Mindstorms set (set of parts)? Or is there a better
option?

I'm new here.  Is anyone using Mindstorms as a learning tool for junior
high or high school students?  Does TLG sell Mindstorms in
educational/school packages?

Dacta (Lego's educational branch) sells a number of Mindstorms products,
including Robolab - a programming environment that's significantly better
than the normal Mindstorms environment.  They also have a couple of RCX
based sets aimed specifically at the educational market and sell the RCX
and sensors separately (great if you want a second RCX or a new sensor).
The Dacta products are available (in the US) from Pitsco (www.pitsco.com).

Another good link is LDAPS -  http://ldaps.ivv.nasa.gov/

Yes you can order the Robolab from Dacta. It sells for $25.00 for the software and if you want the book that goes with it and takes you thur the software it is $50.00. I am using for mindstorms for my son's home schooling and it is great much better (...) (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
