Generally looks pretty good, but there's a few issues.
Those motors are great as long as you don't want to bury them inside a model so
they're hidden. Think large cranes, backhoes, loaders, etc.
Lego should remember that robots aren't the only thing people build with
Mindstorms.
I also think the number of ports is still too low. 8 of each would be far more
realistic. Perhaps a MUX system using the new cables will be a new accessory.

| (...) I suspect power is the primary limiting factor for 8 outputs. With Bluetooth, another NXT is your port expansion, is it not? The downside is bulk, but the entire package contains another power source as well. - matthew (URL) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
