It's a Linux-based, Java-programmable electronic base with I/O ports for connecting BUGmodules — individual modules that supply additional functionality to the BUGbase. Four BUGmodules currently exist: a color LCD screen, a combined motion detector/accelerometer, GPS, and a 2-megapixel color camera. You can think of it as 'electronic LEGOs' that let you build different devices depending on how you plug the modules together."http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&op=image&style=h0&sid=08/08/31/1436201 (http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/31/1436201&from=rss)
