Hello all,
One of the great things on Jerry site is "self-leveling sensor setup". It
uses Robolab code, a HiTechnic EOPD sensor, and Lego parts. Really an
amazing piece of Lego building and Robolab code writing. You should pay
close attention to how he deals with accuracy or "slop" as he calls it.

Elizabeth, Robolab is not well documented because the price/volume
combination
would not pay for the kind of support it needs.
What is needed, before anything else, is a place (on your website?) where
folks
can find out what constitutes a complete up-to-date system. Also, we need
to
know how to procure 'a complete system'. For example, some 'upgrades' that
are
sold in the USA cannot be purchased here in Ontario, Canada due to licence
agreements between Pitsco-Lego-Dacta and their vendor (Spectrum). Also, the
licensee can decide, even if he is permitted to sell an upgrade, that due to
low
volume he won't ...but Pitsco is still prevented from selling it.
Lack of documentation leads to extreme aggravation for those trying to use
it.
We know how good LabView is ...?! I use it in most of my projects, on
http://www3.sympatico.ca.jdkalpin but I don't try to get too fancy.
Jerry
