Hi A while ago I looked at using IC for writing programs. At the time there were 2 major turnoffs. There was no support for rotation sensors and you needed to own one of the serial infrared towers. It was easy to install and it had its own firmware. (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
