BrickOS is a programming language for the RCX. It requires an own firmware, but is therefor much more extensive and faster than RIS or NQC.
With CAD your robots can be made everlasting. You rebuild your models at the PC und can add a step by step instruction at the same time. Then realistic pictures can be produced with a suitable rendering-software.
There's an astir exchange betweeen LEGO Mindstorms Fans in the Internet.
The logical step after RIS and NQC! Also an programming language for the RCX, which requires its own firmware, but is therefor much more skilled.
The new Mindstorms set from LEGO will be available in August. But there are already a lot of infos in the Internet.
I was selected as one of the 100 beta tester for the "Developer Program" but I'm not allowed to publish something until 1st May.
Everything, that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that you should have seen!
Who has already programmed with a C-language, is going to learn this programming language easily and fast. Offers much more possibilities than the RIS.
Everything that belongs to programming but does not fit into any other group.
As the RIS a graphical programming language, that offers much more possibilities.
