Download IC!!

IC is provided free of charge as a service to educators and the general public. The software is designed for the Botball Educational Robotics Program. We invite you to download and use the software, but please note that it is not actively supported (except for registered Botball teams). KISS Institute welcomes your suggestions for added features as well as bug reports.

You are free to download IC and link to this page, but IC cannot be redistributed, or used for commercial purposes, without the written permission of the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics.

At this time, IC Supports the Xport Botball Controller (XBC), the Handy Board with Expansion Board, the Sumo11, and the Lego RCX using the serial IR tower only. There is currently no support for the USB IR tower.

IC is the property of KISS Institute for Practical Robotics, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

IC USB Drivers

In order to use Interactive C with the XBC v3 with built in USB, you will need to install the appropriate driver for your operating system from this drivers page. ( Windows Vista, XP, and 2000 users can just click here to download the installer ). If your XBC has a standard serial connector, then you are using an XBC v1 or v2 and will not need this driver.
