What will they replace it with? 12V?  Any other reasonable voltage is too
hard to produce with batteries - 12V is 1 9V and 2 1.5V AAs, or 8 AAs.  That
is pathetic, and will increase the size of every electronic component for
the sake of using 12V.  Based on what I have heard about 4.5V motors, they
were not terribly powerful.  Unless increases in technology have been
dramatic, I don't see Lego going lower than 9V.

Plus there's a bunch of electronics components for 5V,
which is hard to get from 4.5V, but easy from 9V.

(...) IMHO this isn't valid anymore. There are cheap and effective components (e.g. from maxim) to supply any 3.3V or 5V device from any kind of battery, even from single 1.2 volt cells. And these devices are extremely effective and don't waste much (...) (22 years ago, 3-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)
