> Dan: Yep that's correct. We had it early on in our product exploration, we found we used it very little in the play. It was something we were weighing up; should we have an extra motor or should we have a fourth sensor? And very very quickly we said we'd much rather have four motors in the set, than a fourth sensor, because we could use the tap of the hub or the buttons on the hub. We often use the color sensor as a button as well, because it's very good at detecting a finger and a touch.
There's an interesting interview with the product designers over at New Elementary: http://www.newelementary.com/2020/06/lego-mindstorms-51515-robot-inventor.html http://www.newelementary.com/2020/06/lego-mindstorms-51515-r...
