  ROBOLAB catalog info clarified...

  Re: Programming Languages
 
From the Pitsco-Dacta online catalog, the current version of ROBOLAB ver 2.0 is W90051 and is called 'ROBOLAB Investigator'. It includes the Programmer software (which I hope is the full version). It costs US$59.00. But the catalog material is sort (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: Clearing the firmware
 
Ok, big surprise: it turns out I'm a moron. It was cleared all along, for some strange reason I was expecting the "00:00" to come up in boot mode - I forgot that was part of the Lego firmware, not the boot code. I guess thats what happens when I (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Programming languages
 
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)
