That’s pretty handy if you don’t have a brick handy but you want to try out your program anyway. You can now also chose to run your program on an emulated NXT. The virtual battery packs on these robots also don’t run flat, at least I would hope not. Now all the kids in the classroom can have their own robot and you’ll never lose another LEGO piece or break a sensor again. Just take a look at some of these awesome looking ones. There are many different tables to pick from and many more to come. If you don’t have a robot, never fear! You can now use Robot Virtual Worlds, a completely 3D environment where you can run your simulated robot through a number of obstacles on virtual table tops. I have played with an early Arduino version of ROBOTC several months ago and wrote about it here: and here: Support for Arduino will be added at a later date. There is still support for the Mindstorms NXT, VEX Cortex and PIC. This is a great advantage for educational institutions as there is now no need to keep several pieces of software up to date but just one. Enabling a new platform is as simple as installing and activating the appropriate license. They’ve done a major overhaul of the internal workings of the ROBOTC program and compiler, you no longer need to install multiple versions for each platform you want to program for. After what seems like a dog’s age, a new release of ROBOTC has been, well, released (as is often the case with releases).
