Are you sure? I just checked the FLL site and they are allowing RoboLab
software, which I know is available from LEGO too. Oh, that's what you
said in the last paragraph...sorry.
In the note on the 2000 season, it seems they will be releasing the new
software guidelines in the spring. I'm willing to bet that they will allow
just about any other software to be used, especially since NQC has become
so popular among enthusiasts.
Any thoughts?
