Ok, big surprise: it turns out I'm a moron.

I guess thats what happens when I (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Just out of pure curiosity: How many different programming languages for the RCX exists? Which is the easiest/most advanced/best? (I know this is a matter of taste) And is there any language that does *not* use the LEGO firmware? --Tobias (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

It is my understanding that the RCX has 32 "spaces" for variables, I am trying to set variable A or 10 to the value of 100 and then evaluate it in an IF statement.
