Got a kid that loves robotics, or want a child to take up the art of building little machines? LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 (yes, its a very long name) aims to please.

LEGO has announced, with Digital Blue, that it will bring out several LEGO branded kid’s gadgets to the market, including digital and video cameras, MP3 players and walkie talkies; and all of them will have the usual LEGO brick motif, but they will not be made out of the bricks, since that would be stupid and would be hard to piece it back together when its broken.
