Hi, That's odd. I upgraded mine from 1.0 straight to 2.0, and I only paid for the shipping. I did not order online, but on the phone. As far as choosing between Robolab and the RIS software, it depends upon the age and motivation of the child. (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I have a Robotics Invention System 1.5 (circa 2000) that I haven't used for a couple of years now. My 12 year old daughter is interested in playing with it.

Hi John and all the other members, yes, we got exactly this error in our teachers workshop today. We wrote a few programs on PCs with Windows98. Therefore we used Bricxcc 3.3.7.7 and usb towers.

Hi Albert, (...) since you always get the error at the same point, maybe your version of NQC is too old? The firmware has increased in size, and some old versions can't handle that. Jürgen (21 years ago, 26-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
