I hope they don't switch to lead-free assembly on the RC until the processes seem to be a little more robust. The lead-free joints don't seem to take physical abuse, like the shock of a robot running into something, as well as the lead based processes. As far as I know, all space and military electronics in the US are still using lead based soldering processes for reliability reasons. We are not even talking about converting at my workplace yet.
