Thoughts?

I am somewhat disappointed by the light sensor with its single IR LED. The
"color" sensitivity hype made me think that at least 2 different color lightings
were available. Of course the possibility of turning off the Led is a great
improvement!

Maybe... maybe that sensor is fast enough to establish a bidirectionnal IR link
with a RCX???

Ergh,

Take a close look at some of the pictures to found online. The LED isn't IR, its
a regular old red LED.
