What I'd like to see is MUCH more elaborate expansion capability fot a
completely new RCX paradigm.
Using something like, say, pcmcia-ish cards to add new capabilities to
the unit as desired. One card might add a dozen sensor inputs, while
another card might add an extra half-dozen motor outputs (with, perhaps,
facilities to power extra motors from an auxiliary battery source to
miminize drain on the controller). There may be other types of cards for
more elaborate functionality.
There might also be a need for cards that would add on more "slots" in a
daisy-chain style, much like firewire or USB hubs. The sky could be the
limit. And of course you could mix and match cards as desired to
accomplish whatever tasks your unit needed.

| I'm giving a presentation about Mindstorms on Wednesday. I have a slide near the end that talks about all the stuff I know people want to see added. Here's what I have so far: RCX === RC communication (but keep the IR port, too) more I/O ports (...)
