This answer would be much better without the rant.
Dec 2, 2012 at 2:14 comment added Manishearth @MarkBooth: No prob, we're done here :) I'll be sure to bring it up on meta if it turns up again, though. Btw, @Spiked, I just came across this while browsing. I wasn't following you around..
Dec 1, 2012 at 23:47 comment added Mark Booth Can I suggest that if people wish to discuss this further, opening a Robotics Meta question or moving this to Robotics Chat would be the best option.

Dec 1, 2012 at 20:22 comment added Spiked3 "the OP was clearly asking for an alternative to NXT" and the author was clearly asking about robot kits. What's your point? Quit following me around and telling me to stop arguing with you.
Dec 1, 2012 at 16:54 comment added Manishearth @Spiked3: That certainly has not been my experience so far--if you're talking about this argument of ours, the OP was clearly asking for an alternative to NXT. And please could you stop getting worked up about Arduinos/RPis? This type of argument is unnecessary for this site.
Nov 30, 2012 at 21:26 comment added Spiked3 "write assembler level code to manipulate I/O lines" what part of that does "manipulating GPIO in python" avoid? You made my point, and thanks for chiming in, confirming my other pre-emptive point.
Nov 30, 2012 at 9:24 comment added Joe Baker What makes you say that you need to write assembly code for the Arduino/Raspberry Pi? That's simply not true at all. The entire point of the Arduino API is to abstract away a lot of low-level C (peripheral configuration register manipulation, etc), never mind asm. That's an even sillier thing to say about the Raspberry Pi, where you can manipulate GPIO in Python.
Nov 30, 2012 at 9:18 comment added looper Accepted this answer, because it really helped us :). We'll use RobotC, as it seems to be the best for our needs.

Nov 30, 2012 at 0:28 comment added ThomasH No need to be pre-emptive. Robotics.SE is open to all, nxt questions are certainly on topic here and, in my experience, posters limit their answers to what's asked. If the OP is asking about NXT, answers will be about NXT :)
