I am using robolab and the stock mindstorms kit on my mac.  I have never • used
the stock mindstorms programming software (as its made for pc) but from the
pictures I have seen of it, the robolab does look more powerful/flexible.
Meaning the robolab seems to have a lot more variables connected to the • main
"blocks" of the program.  I was able to get just the software from dacta • for
around $40, I don't remember the exact price.

Good luck,
Sean
