| Description (aim for the stars) | The RCX is LEGO’s first generation of Mindstorms microcontroller. The RCX contains a CPU that executes programmed code. Programming is accomplished via a special infrared interface. After the program is begun, the RCX-enabled Mindstorms creation may function totally on its own, acting on internal and external stimuli according to the programmed instructions. | The NXT is LEGO’s second generation microcontroller. The NXT also contains a CPU that executes programmed code. The NXT’s updated firmware supports an ultrasonic sensor that allows the robot to react to movement and distance. The on board Bluetooth controller offers a way to control robots remotely through another NXT brick. |
