I hate to see this about a toy I've had so much fun with, but it isn't
likely that (esp. once you upgrade to pbForth or legOS) you'll feel
limited by software, even with the 32K limitation. The big limitation is
hardware. The sensors (esp.  once you try to do anything with any kind of
precision) are an unreliable mess, and the fact that you can only use
three of them makes it difficult to do anything of any serious
computational complexity.

You just have to know how to use what it comes with. It's really not that
hard!

(...) Unfortunately, it really is. The most egregious examples are of course the light sensors, which a) are only vaguely linear b) don't have any resolution at the high and low end and c) (worst) when measuring a constant light source, will vary by (...)
