Kind of a newbie question:  Is there a trend toward studless in more than just
Mindstorms?  If so, is the thought that it is mostly because of expiring patents
or are there other reasons.

If we're going to look for studless practice, are there certain Lego product
lines that we should be looking at?

Also, do we necessarily need to be thinking about building studless?  The
picutres of the slot machine from CES look to me like they use a lot of good old
fashioned studded bricks.

Thanks,
Mike
