Wasn't RoboLab also based on Labview?

Yeah we did that too. We made our own "precise" programs, we would ramp up when going forward, then ramp down, and we made it so we went to the exact rotation we wanted to go.
The one thing I like about NXT is it has more memory. We ran into memory problems with the RCX.
