I know that the latest release of NXT-G includes a special import for 

custom blocks ( like those provided by sensor vendors) .  Weren't 

mini-blocks just early customized blocks mirroring existing NXT-G 

functions but with a smaller memory footprint?   If so then would  they 

still be useful in NXT-g 1.1 which as improved the overall memory 

footprint of programs?
