Yes agreed the Tribot wheelbase as at least something new and Rovio is using the new GPS so its not all bad. However Wowwee did kind of shoot themselves in the foot with lack of support for RS Media. Java school here was an attempt by a talented user to get us all going but there was never cooperation with the Java SDK so only the people that got the limited SDK release last year could do anything with it. Also they could have made it easier to access the serial console function without having to hack in and solder and risk trashing your RS Media. They promised new Java games coming, never happened. They had some good hardware in there but it just was never followed through on.

I have to agree... Many a times I have stated already how disappointed I was when the new line of "Bots" was unveiled this year. I do like the Rovio, and have some ideas for the actual wheel base from the tri-bots... but the rest of it all has just seemed to take a landslide backwards.
