Wow! Those look incredibly useful, especially for the mechanically
impaired. Can they be bought separately?

Still only one differential.

I'm not sure if this was in the Contructopedia for the RIS 1.0 - but there
is 2 pages at the end that shows how to use it - a final pic is here:

The description says:

This is a prototype so that the inventorbot can move forward and turn while
it drives backwards. It uses only one motor. - I haven't build that yet (I
mainly got the RIS to enhance my R2D2 :)

If this is new I could scan all four full pages if that is of interest?

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. • .....
How about scans of a couple of pages that show how these new pieces are
used.

I've uploaded 2 scans that show how they are used - infact they are used
together (at least in the examples):

http://users.cybercity.dk/~nmb18889/new1.jpg
http://users.cybercity.dk/~nmb18889/new2.jpg

Apart from that I've also uploaded these 3 scans of the Roverbot, Acrobot
and Inventorbot model ideas that is in the Constructopedia.

http://users.cybercity.dk/~nmb18889/inventorbot.jpg

As for:

http://users.cybercity.dk/~nmb18889/ris15bricks.jpg

I don't know if that's new too - but 4th column, 6 rows down - the clutch
gear should be new too.

It's nice to hear you hardcore mindstorms guys talk about these new bricks -
I mean it's more than 10 years ago I got my 'last' Technic set - so a lot of
bricks are VERY new to me - but it's nice not to be the only one ;-)

PS: As for the scans - due to copyright reasons (I think) I might have to
take them down again by the end of the week - I'll consider scanning rest of
the new Constructopedia for next week for those of you that could find it
usefull - if some parts look interesting - judged from the scans above - let
me know - there is no need to scan more than what is needed :)
