From ZDNet: "Lego Systems Inc. showed off updated versions of its Mindstorms robot systems with enhanced processors. And in anticipation of the release of the new Star Wars movie, the company has produced a "Droid Developer Kit" that lets consumers create their own R2-D2 that can sense light sources and react to them. The Droid can also be assembled to form a "Battle Droid" figure from the new movie. The Droid kit costs $100, and will be available in the holiday season."
