  Oh and +1 for a 3-position switch (-1, 0, 1)...or maybe just an option on the slider that clips it to centre, max or min...that would work just as well.

  One more suggestion: Logarithmic option for controls, so that e.g. a slider is less sensitive near the centre.

  I cannot assign a channel to control the direction of the motor (normal or reversed). That's a step backwards from the IR system! I'd like to be able to set a button to reverse the direction of a motor (but not affect the motors speed or anything - just literally reverse the commands being sent to it from e.g. a slider). I guess this goes hand in hand with the first point in my last post.
   
  At the moment, assigning two controls to one channel seems to work on a "Last touched takes precedence" basis, and controls on the same channel do not update each other (or so it seems on Android).
   
  A way of switching to something like this would be incredible useful for e.g. crab steering:
   
  Channel.Value = Max(Min((Control1.Value * Control2.Value), 1), -1)
   
  Or skid steering:
  Channel.Value = Max(Min((Control1.Value - Control2.Value), 1), -1) for one side,
  Channel.Value = Max(Min((Control1.Value + Control2.Value), 1), -1) for the other.

  +1 for studless case for SBrick, with an odd size. I just hate how I always have to either a) deal with a half stud offset, or b) lose 5L x 5L of real estate in my chassis.

I just hate how I always have to either a) deal with a half stud offset, or b) lose 5L x 5L of real estate in my chassis. Just moving the holes by half a stud would be enough (if fully studless was not possible)...something like this?:
   
  
  Fully studless would be better though, so I don't have a wasted space underneath the SBrick.
   
  +1 for a high-current LiPo as well. Again, studless would be nice...
   
  +1 for the CamBrick too. Not sure if BT has the bandwidth to transmit live video at any decent resolution though... Controlling the CamBrick's lense etc via an SBrick would be nice, too.
   
  A fully dimmable, controllable RGB LED system would be nice too. Maybe C1 could be Hue and C2 could be Dimmer or something?  less

  1. Ability to 'chain' controls, with mathematical operators in between. For example:
  You have a MOC with 4 wheel steering, powered by two servo motors
  Each servo is on a separate SBrick channel
  You have one slider called SteeringAll that is the main slider for steering your MOC - it controls both servos
  BUT, before the signal is sent to the servos, the signal to the rear servo goes through another slider called SteeringRearMultiplier - this multiplies the output of SteeringAll by SteeringRearMultiplier's value; so:
   
  When SteeringAll=1 and SteeringRearMultiplier = 0, you get front wheel steering only (1*0=0 for the rear servo)
  When SteeringAll=1 and SteeringRearMultiplier = 1, you get four wheel normal steering (1*1=1 for the rear servo)
  When SteeringAll=1 and SteeringRearMultiplier = -1, you get four wheel 'crab' steering (1*-1=-1 for the rear servo)
   
  Or you could...    less
