 | | API changes —Matthew Ahrens
|
| | | In using legOS, I've found that many of the design decisions seem somewhat backwards, and I think that this is due to a desire to keep the interface as similar as possible to NQC. I was wondering what people would think about changing the core API (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
