I think the problem with the autofocus was not with the light sensors but rather with the IR port. I think they were worried about an infrared autofocus accidentally "reprogramming" the RCX. Here in Illinois there was a story about a team's robot that lost its programming every night, and they supposedly traced it to the infrared illuminators used by the security cameras that were only turned on at night.
