Platform: ROBOLAB

RL294dROBOLAB is a visual programming language built in LabVIEW that was developed by the Tufts CEEO.

ROBOLAB was the dominant programming language for educational LEGO robotics prior to the release of the NXT Software (NXT-G), and provided inspiration for not only the NXT Software, but also LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS.

If offers support for the RCX as well as the NXT.
