First some questions that will make the replies from the list
more relevent:
* How fast does the target move?
* How big is the target?
* How far away is the target - typically?
* Can you attach things like lights or infra-red LED's to the target
or must you detect it purely passively?
* Can you choose the colour of the target and the background that it moves
against? (eg: A white target with a black cloth draped behind it?)
* Can you use the full power of a PC - or must you do this with an RCX?
My first guess is that you'd probably do best with a Lego Camera...but a lot
depends on your answers to the questions above.
