"Bricks and Bytes: An Exploration of LEGO Mindstorms"

Andy Busch 2002


Abstract

RCX Code, NQC, and BrickOS are the three most well-known ways to program the Lego Robot RCX brick. Others exist, such as Java Virtual Machine1 and pbForth2, but are of more specialized uses. The strengths and weaknesses of these three environments are analyzed in this study to conclude that making a simple declaration of the "right" programming environment is impossible.
