The RCX can be seen as the 'brain' of the robots. It is used to store firmware and user programs. Using a Infra Red tower, a program can be uploaded from a windows or mac pc on to the RCX. The RCX can operate three motors, sample three sensors and contains an infrared communications interface.


Internally, the RCX consists of a Hitachi H8 microcontroller with 32K of RAM, running at 16MHz.[[[1]]]
