Well, you could use the new JStamp and JCX system. It's being used in
several universities now (the JStamp part, JCX will be available before
year end 2001).
http://www.jcx.systronix.com and http://jstamp.com
JStamp is a native Java execution chip with a 32-bit CPU and up to 2.5
MBytes total of SRAM and Flash (not to be confused with any 8-bit
interpreters running some subset of Java).
I'm teaching a senior class at the UofUtah this semester:

We are using Mindstorms hardware with the vastly more powerful JStamp
computer, plus additional non-Lego sensors and motors.
I just discovered www.sploids.com which are Lego bricks used to join Lego
and K'nex and have ordered some to try.
