Lego is coming out with a system called Lego Mindstorms in conjunction
with the MIT Media Lab and Seymour Papert. It has its own interesting
programming language as well as an interface for other languages
(Squeak would be nice, wouldn't it?)

     The Robotics Invention System ships with an OCX that interfaces
     with the brick and the RCX programming language. The OCX can be
     written to using other programming languages like
     Microsoft. Visual BasicTM. We will provide via the Internet
     instruction on how to program to the OCX. Watch
     www.legomindstorms.com for updates.
