<p>Answer by Jim Baker and Kerry Garrison: </p>
<p>It's a new line of LEGO products which enables people to build and
program autonomous robots with the help of the Programmable Brick,
<I>a.k.a.</I> the RCX. You connect sensors and motors to the RCX and by
using the packaged software, RCX Code, or alternate programs (such as
BotCode and NQC) you program your robot. The core set, The Robotics
Invention System, gives you everything you need to start making your
inventions come to life.</P>
