You may not be aware that you don't need a computer - or to do any form of
programming in order to use the RCX with the Lego remote controller.
However,
all you get that's of much use without programming is six buttons to
control
the three motor outlets in either forward or reverse - plus some buttons
to
make the RCX beep.  You can do better than that if you program the RCX -
but
you get the basics without needing a PC or programming of any kind.


Um, I thought you had to have the firmware installed in the RCX before you
could use the remote...  The Scout, on the other hand, responds to the
remote right out of the box.
