Marco,
Many (most? all?) of your wishes can be easily fulfilled
with the HandyBoard and its expansion board. It is programmed in
Interactive C ... so if you've been using Dave Baum's NQC there is
only a very small learning curve, it has more I/O than you'll ever
use on a LEGO robot, and with the expansion board it handles all of
the LEGO active sensors. If you buy it in kit form the price is
little more than the cost of the RIS set. And it works with the
Mac as well as with Windoze. Best of all, the HandyBoard was designed
from the ground up to be used in building LEGO robots!

| WOW! YEAH! :) Is there a page with an organized Lego pBrick related wish list ? Ok, let's see my wish list: 1) A SuperRCX with *at leat* 6 sensor ports, at least 4 motors, a rechargeable battery through a it's own power port and RF antenas for PC (...)
