The complete text:

   From the subarticle, "Toys that will turn heads"

   "Mindstorms Vision Command System (LEGO $99.99, ages 12 and up).  New
camera technology allows kids to build and design robots that respond to
motion, light and color.  Kids can make robots pinpoint and track an object
like a yellow ball, or possibly a brightly colored family pet.  Available
for holiday shopping."

   "LEGO Mybot (LEGO, $49.99, ages 4-6).  Pairs classic Duplo building with
motion-sensing technology.  Children design and build one of three
interactive creations and "program" it by placing an identity brick and an
action brick on their model.  Available in September."

Does anyone know anything about the Mindstorms Vision Command System that is
mentioned in today's USA Today?  It's mentioned on page 2 of the front
section of the newspaper.  It appears to be talking about a camera capable
of recognizing objects by color or shape(?) and that it'll be available
around the holiday season for $99.

Apologies if this has already been discussed.
