| It is conducted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Participants from across United States invented and built their own autonomous grand vehicles to compete by being the first one to complete the designated route, dessert like (...)

| Hi all, I'm sure some of you may have already watching this. Check out the Grand Challenge taken place in CA. The Grand Challenge Events - Autonomous Ground Vehicles, www.grandchallenge.org. I wish they would boardcast this, or have them (...) (21 years ago, 13-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| (...) Hi John, C is more restrictive than C++ when it comes to variable declaration. In C, you can only declare variables at the beginning of a block before any executable. Well, lets see..... any variables declared outside a function are by (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| NQC is definitely sticking with its C heritage with respect to semi-colons. Elisabeth mentioned fancier math and IP features. Neither of those seem possible when you consider that the compiler has to generate code that runs on the LEGO firmware (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| (...) I could not agree more with Kevin. Adding a feature, such as adding in more intricate math functions, or add in tcp/ip socket support, etc. is more fruitful than making the language syntax more like others just because someone is not used to (...)
