This made sense, until I read this...

I had to go back and re-read this to understand one is talking about the NXT
firmware, and the other is talking about NBC.
If I read it correctly, it means:
A) The "standard" NXT Firmware requires two op-codes ("setout opcodes"?) to
execute "move to limit, then break"
B) NBC has one command to send these two op-codes to the firmware
C) Robot C uses two lines to implement this functionality in it's own firmware

Dick, I think you need to read up on the RobotC documentation, or something. :)

This sounds like a real headache for LEGO. I never did understand why they made
a proprietary commercial alternate firmware with a completely different set of
opcodes and virtual machine functionality for RoboLab.
But, what do I know about marketing. I just build robots.
