Is there a program that allows you to download the prg files created from the Lego CD-ROM to the RCX without loading the Lego CD program? Help Appreciated! Adamski _______ <adamski2000@adamski...rve.co.uk> (26 years ago, 28-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

In my opinion NQC is the easiest way to program the Lego Robots. But people that never programmed before seem to think it is difficult (maybe because it sounds like C). So I decided to write an extensive tutorial on how to use NQC. The tutorial does (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics)
