RS 5.0

Hi all,

I saw RS 5.0 launching plan a few days ago, my curiosity is that,

it means VIRC5 is not necessary for RS5.0? and we don't have to buy

VIRC5 anymore??

Best & Kind Regards,
spaik

    RobotStudio 5 is considerably more powerful than Virtual IRC5 without being more expensive.
    So yes, for most people it is a better choice than Virtual IRC5.

    Best regards,
