  Re: How advanced can RCX programming be?
 
Hi Tobias, If you're a computer programmer, I'd definitly suggest using something other than the RCX Code method of writing programs for the RCX. NQC is a nice environment if you know C. If you know a language that supports ActiveX, you can program (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)
