Sounds somewhat promising. However, I hope the growth and improvement in
this area also follows the "back to basics" direction. Pretty much
*everything* after the first RCX (and 2.0) has been slanted away from

Spybotics. Hopefully, the future evolution will go towards smarter and
better (smaller, more inputs and outputs, separate power from brain, etc.)
rather than just smaller and simpler.
