Bioloid Kit Upgrade Question.

I have seen a few references to a Bioloid upgrade.
I haven't purchased my kit yet. I was wondering if
the upgrade is going to be a totally new kit or just
an upgrade package that can be purchased separately?

I want to know, because if it's a new kit and it will be released
fairly soon I will wait to get it. If it's just a separate purchase that
can be added later, I'll get an existing kit sooner.

Thanks for your help!

There is a new kit coming soon. It should be released this fall. Its a bit behind schedule (It was supposed to be release in early summer). I think its worth the wait although I have no idea what the cost will be. There is a new controller with sensor inputs.
I think the servos are the same but many brackets change.

It's sound pretty interesting!

I suppose and hope that the controller could be acquired separately, to replace the CM-5 :)

I hope the servos do stay the same to allow current owners a reasonably inexpensive upgrade path.

Any update on the new kit and when it's going to be released?
I would like to buy the bioloid kit soon, but currently I'm still waiting?
