      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."
