I came across this 'Remote-Controlled Indoor Triple-Turbo Blimp' for $90.

What do you guys think in terms of RCX applications? E.g. you could build a
Lego bot for the remote control, therefore enabling the blimb to be steered
by the RCX. What about a X10 cam onboard the blimb? A PC prog could do some
simple image processing and send position estimates and move commands to the
RCX operating the (manual) remote control.
