Given the frustrations I've had, I can't agree with the "10/10" ease of use rating that the BotMag comparison ( http://www.botmag.com/articles/10-31-07_NXT.shtml ) gave NXT-G. However, it does show that RobotC is, apparently, twice as easy to use as NXJ and NXC; that might be enough for me.
My BlueTooth dongle is in the hands of my expert-soldering-friend Charlie Dunn ... the dongle had an unfortunate accident involving a nephew, a foot, and some unwillingness to admit accountability. The BlueTooth capabilities definitely give RobotC a big plus, in my book, as does the speed. I've often though about messing around with self-balancing, but wasn't enough of a programmer during my RCX days to attempt it.
Thanks.
