You have found a fascinating bug in either the firmware or in Robolab 2.5.2. The loop counter is normally assigned to container 47 when used inline or in a subvi. For some reason it gets assigned to container 1 which is the same as the blue container when used in a subroutine. Either to not use loops inside subroutines or stay away from the colored containers. Q12.26) RoboLab hangs up each time I try to download a program. A) The old RCX tower device driver that comes with RoboLab is not compatible with the new Hyperthreading technology. You can download a new driver from here: http://www.lego.com/eng/education/mindstorms/home.asp?
