Overview
Robolab is based on National Instruments LabView. It was created by a partnership between National Instruments, Tufts University, and LEGO Dacta for use in teaching programming in a K-12 environment.
One notable point about Robolab is that is runs on both the Windows and Apple Macintosh platforms. Mindstorms RIS on the other hand only runs on Windows.

Contructs
Robolab contains all the standard programming constructs needed such as...
- Variables (called containers)
- Branches (called Forks)
- Loops (called Loops)
...as well as providing all the commands required to control the RCX and attached hardware (motors and sensors).
