MPLAB handles the compiler for you, but you must have it if you are programming in C on either the big or the small robots. The C compiler is installed as a separate software package, but is integrated seamlessly into the MPLAB environment. The compiler is necessary to produce the .hex file we download.
MPLAB by itself only comes with PIC Assembly.
