Still only one differential.

Any idea what the blue brick 4 rows down in the last column is for?  It
looks very strange.  The double yellow connector (3rd column, 12 rows down)
is kind of interesting as well.  I don't think any of these make it worth
spending $25 for the RIS 1.5 upgrade though.


They use it to connect sensor mountings to the robot chassis in the
Constructopedia robots. The chassis and sensor array each have one of those
blue things, and they are locked together by the double yellow connector,
which can be inserted into the top, left or right, as seen in that diagram.
Gives you a variety of solid mounting positions at different orientations
and displacements.

Note the RCX - I believe it's still the same shape, except for two extra
studs at the ex-power connector end.
