Thanks for your extensive report on future LEGO products...

Yep! Thanks :)


I can't wait to get my hands on those new sets, but I really think LEGO is
using a weird logic by not expanding the RIS / RCX capabilities and doing
exactly the opposite, (!?!?!?)

If the add-ons can communicate with the RCX, then that would be
improving the RIS as a whole - I'd rather have an RCX with a specialised
baby sister than an RCX with double the inputs/outputs :)

However the Star Wars Robotics Kit does sound a bit dull! Most of the
appeal of this to me would be programming my own R2D2.. so lets hope you
can substitute an RCX in there and R2D2 isn't a pre-moulded heap of ABS.
