Martijn,

Most of these are pretty clear.  Of course, this discussion comes up every few
months.  But I have a couple questions...

Do many people use the IR as a way to communicate between a PC and a moble robot? 
Personally, I don't think I've ever used the IR tower where I couldn't just use a
wire, instead.  How about everyone else?  Would it be better to just plug the robot
into your computer?

I don't know much about Bluetooth.  How would this help?

Would it really be useful to have Bluetooth to connect to a sensor?  I mean
normally, I can just use a wire to connect.  If I need more than that, I usually
need another RCX, anyway...

And, wouldn't it be hard to configure that?  Of course, if you need to change
sensors, you'll have to reconfigure it, right?

What do you mean, here?  Do you want the ability to add new sensors (like we have
now) or are you talking about something more?

PS. Nice meeting you in Billund.  :)
