- DCC for trains and better communications between RCXs that don’t have line of sight
- A reliable inter-RCX communication protocol that allows 256 or so RCXs

| 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.
