Lego competition
The core of this set is the RCX a programmable microcontroller based brick capable of driving three sensors three motors and an infrared serial communications interface Normally programs are written on a PC by assembling stacks of commands which are then compiled to byte code and downloaded to the RCX The RCX is one of a small group of products that brings microcontroller programming to the masses Unlike its peers however the RCX was designed to interact with and control objects in the physical world Simpler and easier to use than a kit or an evaluation board the RCX comes with everything needed to start building and programming and is quickly becoming a standard among enthusiasts While the RCX is certainly a fun and useful product out of box it is even more exciting under the hood Reverse engineering has revealed enough details about the machine that it is now possible to escape the limitations of the standard programming environment Moreover the expectation is that it will soon become possible to bypass the byte code interpreter and access the RCX directly
