From the website:

"The PicoCricket Kit is similar to the LEGO(r) MINDSTORMS™ robotics kits.
MINDSTORMS is designed especially for making robots, while the PicoCricket Kit
is designed for making artistic creations with lights, sound, music, and
motion."

I like the idea of this, the modules are neat. I have blogged it on
OrionRobots http://orionrobots.co.uk/blogs/dannystaple.

Question - does anyone know how many output or input modules could be
attached, and if there are any plans for seperate motor control
boards? I strongly agree with Brian that having the motor controller
seperate from the mainboard could be quite handy.
