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 (25 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I forgot to mention that LEGO Engineer 2.0 currently runs on top of ROBOLAB 2.0. So ok, its not *free* :) You have to spend the $25 or so on ROBOLAB first.
