Almost a year ago I posted a thread about the (URL) robotics.nxt sidebar>. I don't update it much anymore, but today I was emailed a request to add a link to a new NXT simulator. I've done so, but what would make the sidebar more interesting is a (...) (16 years ago, 6-Jan-09, to lugnet.admin.curators, lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Nice! One minor 'complaint' though: IMO, the 360 animations are rotating too fast, so it's difficult to really see any details. The super thing would be to have a controllable 360 rotation, so I could stop at any angle and look closer. I don't (...) (16 years ago, 13-Dec-08, to lugnet.technic)
