Is that true? I thought MSRS can be used as basically an emulator and can eventually offload the entire program onto the robot hardware. So MSRS is more like a combination of MPLAB and EasyC, but there still needs to be some kind of hardware embedded controller, which could be anything. (Right now there are about eight supported systems, including MindStorms and the iRobot Create, but I suspect this will grow.)
