Well, 3 motors/output ports never were enough... (at least, when the bot
wasn't big enough for multiple RCX's, or if you don't own more than one) I
guess that's something that won't change easily... :) Off course, there's
all sorts of workarounds to this problem, but there's a point when you
definitely NEED more than three motors.
Also, with these new connectors, you cannot easily piggyback a second motor
off of the same output port, making it impossible to use two motors for the
same purpose; propulsion, for instance... So I guess we all would like to
see some way to connect more than one motor to an output port, even if this
means you don't have monitoring.
One more question: will the USB connection have a host function, like you
see in various handheld applisances? This way, the NXT could control stuff
over USB...
Regards, Simon
