The Cortex (Robotics Programming Software)
The Cortex sets The Brain Robotic Controller in motion. The Cortex makes robotics programming intuitive and fun for the beginner and also features real-world programming environments for the advanced user.

The Brain and accompanying Cortex software allows students to program in 4 different programming environments, including: PCS Visual Logo (Drag and Drop), PCS Logo (Text Based), PCS Simple C (C Based), AVR Studio (C Programming). All of these languages build on each other to create a comprehensive programming platform that enables students to create and produce programs and robots that utilizing real world programming environments unlike any other manipulative based environment.
