Mindstorms were the shit when it came to building small, yet totally functional robots, and LEGOS has just one upped themselves by totally rebuilding Mindstorm. Their new Mindstorm NXT is powered by a 32-bit microprocessor which can be programmed by a PC, as well as a Mac. No idea on Linux, but this thing can be programmed by either USB 2.0 or bluetooth- talk about sweetness.

While the thing is only on display currently at CES, you should be able to get it this August. That's a long time to wait, but for now you can see it in action.

Wow, great site. This lego mindstorm thing does look cool, and the open source programming aspect of it definitely opens up options.
