Nice idea, but two questions:
How many GBC modules used an RCX? And how many of those RCXs had a free sensor
port?
Of course for next year's NXT-based GBC, with proper programming, a single
BlueTooth cell-phone could turn off the 10% of the modules that use an NXT all
at once (passing messages from one module to the next -- since BT doesn't
support a broadcast mode). And an extra NXT robot could be hovering over the
master power switch/circuit breaker, and turn it, and hence the other 90% of the
modules, off as well :-)
