A1) NXTG only works with an NXT. RIS works only with RCX. Robolab 2.9 or better will work with NXT or RCX. Earlier versions only work with RCX. A2) They each have their own advantages and disadvantages. A2) RCX: Use RoboLab if you are using Windows NT or a Mac (RIS does not work on NT or Mac). A3) Most coaches who have used RIS and RoboLab agree that RoboLab is more capable but a little less intuitive. Neither should prevent you from attaining high scores. If you have the time, try both and see what your team thinks. If most of your team already is used to one, go with that. A4) NXT: Selecting Robolab over NXTG is still TBD. Your input welcome!
