I am working for a hardware/software company in The Netherlands and we
are in the process of organising a 'build the best robot using
Mindstorms and Java' challenge. The idea is to judge people not only by
the the robot they build but also by the Java program they wrote to
control it. don't want go enter the discussion about what Java would add
to a language like NQC. Java is the simply the language of choice for
us.

I am looking for a fairly rich Java API with which is must be possible
for software trainees without Mindstorms experience to build a
non-trivial program for the RCX in a day. I have had a look at the Java
RCX APIs around but have only found fairly basic APIs that provide
functionality at the 'RCX opcodes' level.

Ideally we would like a Java wrapper around NQC. Is anybody working on
this? If not, I would consider doing so. Is anyone interested? Of course
a JVM in th RCX would be even better, but I don't think the RCXJVM team
will be ready in time for us..

cheers,

Edgar
