I can only speak for myself, but I want my robots to be fully autonomic (turn
it on and it fulfills it's purpose without any other interaction)  I want more
motors available as well, but some functions are only when the robot is not in
transit, so I am looking into multiplexing the output for stationary motors
vs. transit motors... if this makes any sense :)  I have thought about the R/C
kit though.

and you realy need 2 motors (at least) to make your robot pre form a multi
task function.

So this is my solution to this problem.  Get the lego RC racer to drive
your robot around.  Then your left with all 3 outputs on the RCX.  Last
you can get the lego mindstorm remote to excute you robots programs from a
distance.

any feedback on what you think of this would be gerate.

thanks
