Welcome to the LEGO MindStorms RCX Hub!

“The LEGO MindStorms Robotics Invention System [which included the RCX] is the best-selling LEGO set ever. Over 1 million of these have been sold globally since their launch.” 1, 2

This BrickBot organization is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the LEGO MindStorms RCX and the development activity that grew up around it. Here you will find repositories of RCX-related projects, as well as links to related resources. The initial eighty-plus (80+) projects gathered under this BrickBot organization on GitHub were largely collected by Matthew Sheets.

All projects imported to this GitHub organization have been curated to varying degrees as part of the import process. Please feel free to join and contribute in whatever way you can, helping to preserve the legacy of the LEGO MindStorms RCX!
