Hello!

I am building a robot, (an XY plotter to be more precise), this means that I have to control 3 motor (of which two will be doing identical movements, X-axis) and the third will be controlling the Y-axis. The robot will besically be a printer ...I will be using using lego mindstorms, NXT. I have to choose a driver for it and the choice is between RobotC, which is a C based program, and Robolab, whcih is graphic based.
Does anyone have any exprience with these? Which do you think is best for the task?

There is not "best for the task", I'm sure you will get the same response from most of us here.

My opinion would be if you know how to program with C then there is no reason to use the graphical based interface as you will probably get more control over everything then with the graphical interface.

Thx... That was my first choice, but I found someone that did the same project who used the graphic based one, which made me hesitate.:D
