This does point to a concern that I have. I'm wondering if the Bluetooth
interface replaces the IR comm link that the RCX used to send messages back
and forth between other RCX bricks. I don't know Bluetooth so I don't know
if it is peer-to-peer or a master/slave type of networking. It would be a
shame to lose the ability for "bricks" to communicate with each other. It is
also a shame that my RCX bricks will now be left out of the fun since they
have no way to communicate with the NXT brick.
BUT! The new sensor and motor connections are pretty cool, but darn it!
Still only three motors! The sensors can probably be multiplexed for lots
more inputs, so that is no big deal.
I'm awaiting more information!
