My main worry is that the programming interfaces for the new and the old systems
won't be able to co-exist on the same computer system, so if you want to use
your old RCX you have to program it on different PC from the one you use for the
new RCX. THAT would be a royal pain and force many people to use one or the
other.
Also, are these motors going to be "better" than the old ones (i.e. in terms of
workload, torque, etc)? Certainly they look bigger and harder to incorporate
into a structure...
