I can't speak for the NXT, but knowing that it has BT, and should be adhering to

Dave,

I don't know a whole lot about BT (beyond the little I've found out because of
this project), but your assessment is correct.

The protocol is implemented according to BT spec, so all communication is done
through master-slave communication.

The thing that's confusing in my (and Brian's) explanation is that any NXT can
be a master, with three slaves, AND can be a slave to one master.

There is no direct slave to slave communication, and no master to master
communication.

The fact that any NXT can be a master and/or a slave allows you to bypass the
four-connection limit.

Any less muddy?  :)

A little - the next question of course is: Can NXT1 be both slave (to NXT0) and
master (to NXT2, NXT3, NXT4) at the same time? Or does that require sneaky
protocol to switch between the 2?
