Al,
Complete agreement.
Some things left undiscussed here (and by the GDC) is how these things are electrically controlled. In this guidance vacuum, I just know we're going to see some real Rube Goldberg (ex: a limit switch actuated by a servo) contraptions.
The custom circuits section of the rules do not seem adequate to allow for switching of relatively high current DC devices.
I really expected the GDC to state that EMs must be controlled via a Spike.
It's gonna be an interesting call next week...
JMHO,
Mike
