RoboCalc v1.0 Released

Posted On: 06/29/08

Detached Solutions is proud to announce the official release of RoboCalc (after three short years of hibernation) by Greg Dietsche. RoboCalc is designed to lower the learning curve required to operate and program the Norland Research Robot. This program is a great addition to any classroom utilizing Norland Research's robot! With RoboCalc, students can easily control the robot using easy to remember mnemonics instead of hard to remember numbers.
