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
open-ended creative building, and towards pre-defined action-toys like
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.
