How about Lego providing a standard module for connecting active
sensors to the RCX - one that contains the Diode Bridge and
filter circuits?

   I'm not sure I understand - what would that gain you? Since the standard LEGO
sensors have that circuitry built in, and if you put it in a seperate unit all
you're doing is moving the circuitry from the sensor itself to a second
enclosure.
   What am I not understanding?

What I also always wanted (not quite non-Lego), was large panels
(studless - pin mounted)... with the studless connectors around
the edges

   I've always wanted to use the frost blue panels from the Mars Rover set to
"enclose" a robot, but the geometry is pretty limiting.

I think what you missed was the possibility to attach more advanced and interesting sensors. The sensors are a basic start- but there are better ones, there are compass sensors, improved non-contact rotation sensors (read as opto-interruptor based (...)

I would love a way to mount other mCUs, as the 3 RCXs, and batteries to support them to get some of the same functionality can be very heavy and bulky. I agree with a standard electrical connector - I actually had an idea for a more advanced Lego (...) (19 years ago, 25-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
