Have any of you stumbled across a good hybrid of Legos and either eToys or Scratch (anything built on the Squeak platform)? I know there have been discussions about it on various forums, but not sure if we have played around with it locally or not. I am a big proponent of working with my hands (that's the way I learn), and I would love to "be a kid again" and witness the marriage of Legos and Scratch and share that unending fun with my kids and the students I work with.

Espeically with mobile apps and technology going the way it is, I would love to see a mobile app that can control this "physical etoy" as well. I know the technology is there, but is it accessible, yet?

I look forward to hearing from you.
