The compact framework is an independent CLI implementation, designed
from the ground up to run on devices, and so "making it into Rotor"
wouldn't make much sense.  Several people besides you have suggested
that they might go the other way round and try running Rotor on devices,
but it would take a fairly beefy device to run Rotor unmodified, since
the codebase was designed for the PC form factor.  Certainly not out of
the question with the new breed of tiny PCs that we are starting to see,
or else with some substantial cutdown mods to the code.  It would be
very cool to see a mindstorms port!!
