First off I want to thank everyone for their help and guidance on my FLL Coaches Training class. The Mechanics class documentation is mostly done now. I'm having a few of my engineer friends review it for techical errors. A teacher review follows that to catch my numerous grammatical errors and offer suggestions on the structure and presentation. Then I will probably try it out on a few coaches. Any volunteers? Now on to the programming class. There is lots of great stuff about ROBOLAB on the web, but I am having difficulty finding anything on RCX Code. I haven't used it much since V1.0 which was pretty horrible. The new V2.0 is much better, but the supplied documentation is sparse. There are some programming exercises, a few sample programs, and the online help (which is full of gaps). Also, does anyone know of a good way to capture images of RXC Code programs? Thanks, Dean Hystad
