It would be also nice to have a Control Center 3 set. The second Control
Center was released about 5 years after the first, and it's been almost 6
years since then.
Yep, and it should be named ... hmmm ... "Robotics Invention System"
:) Seriously, it is priced at around the same as the CC2 was, and it
has all the functions that were missing in CC2 (control speed of
motors, read sensors) And it is much more mobile.
I don't think we will see more ControlCenters, as they will have a
hard time competing with mindstorms. I wouldn't mind one though, but
it would have to be priced significantly lower than the RIS.



Kind regards
