(...) I'd probably recommend the "LEGO Mindstorms Education base set" (URL) than the retail NXT kit or buying things piece-by-piece.

With that in mind, that sort of set should I buy for a FLL team? The NXT set from (...) (16 years ago, 12-Sep-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

|

(...) Hello Dave, I won't be of much help, except to say that you may have to look at something else than the system. Windows 2000 is probably not the culprit, as I use NXT-G, BrixCC and NeXTScreen on this OS without connection problem, at least in (...) (16 years ago, 12-Sep-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

OK, I'm a little bit proud of this... and, mostly, amazed that it functioned at all. I was selected to participate in the HALE (High Altitude LEGO Extravaganza) after submitted two proposals in the hopes one would make it... and instead, both were (...)

I'm teaching this week using laptops running on Vista. The laptops also have the full suite of Adobe software. Under these conditions, the models do not show up.
