There are no limitations in LegOS at all that I am aware of. The biggest problems with
LegOS are the size of and number of tools required work with it and the learning curve
for people who don't have any prior programming experience (let alone C programming
experience). NQC, or something similar, has the merit of being "small" and thereby
feasibly learnable by people who don't have any programming exerience at all before
playing around with the RCX. My 15 year old quickly recognized the limitations of the
RIS system and I pointed him towards other options like NQC and LegOS. He had no
problems learning NQC but even after grasping the basic concepts behind C as
implemented in NQC, he found LegOS intimidating.
