What works

I have tried Investigator G-Code, writing programs in Inventor, and discovering how easily the program's source code can be uncovered, by pressing Ctrl-. and then Ctrl-E. This works.

What does not

The driver for the USB IR tower seems to be missing, so because all I have is a USB tower, I can't communicate with the RCX. The vision center can't detect my camera, so I couldn't use it. I also couldn't click on windows such as the context help, the tools palette, and the functions palette, so I had to change tools with the space bar and tab key and select functions by right-clicking on the background and using the palette there. 

Workarounds

What was not tested

The IR tower wasn't working, so there is a very large amount that can't be tested because of that! Also, my camera wasn't detected, so the vision center couldn't be tested. I didn't test the Investigator features besides programming.

Additional Comments

There is a bug in pilot where if your camera doesn't work, an image that dates from Tufts University when the program was being tested appears in the camera window while the camera select box appears.
