Cool, I'll have to take some closer looks there as well. I knew this was going

Having found the comments on that problem, I was almost fearing you might say
that. Best thing in that case may be to still have the odd spare cybermaster
lying around and make one working unit out of two. It all depends on when the
fun effect wears off with the kids - RCX is probably more flexible and the
motors a lot easier to replace (I'm not saying cheaper, just easier).
