Exciting Light Effects for Student Robots

I received this notice via email this morning. This seems to be an exciting addition to the LEGO mindstorms kit. See the video below... I can't imagine kids not being inspired by the ability to create things like this on their own.

Let there be light!

Introducing the dLight, Dexter Industries latest accessory for the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT! The dLight is an LED lighting system for LEGO robots. The multi-colored LED’s are programmable for color, power, and blink rate. Give your LEGO robot a bright future with the dLight!dLights daisy chained together.
