I am only quessing. But a lot is happening inside the FIRST processor. You do not control directly the outputs, another processor does that so they can shut down your robot at the right time. Another processor would be neccassary for taking care of the communications from the robt controller to the human interface. So they probably use an MCU for each process they are doing.
