Build robots that respond to what they see!

The new LEGO CAM can be programmed on your PC to respond to motion, color, or light. Used alone, it can be anything from a motion sensitive spy camera to a music synthesizer played with the wave of a hand. When combined with the Robotics Invention System, the camera becomes a revolutionary vision sensor smart enough to be the eyes and brains of your robot.
Vision Command features:
Recording up to 30 FPS
High resolution color image,
LEGO CAM Software that edits pictures, sends video email, and works with video conferencing software.

Works with Robotics Invention System
When combined with the Robotics Invention System, you can create robots that see! With a few simple commands, you can:

Program your robot to follow you around a room.
Let your robot explore on its own while you watch the action live on your PC

Press RUN and watch your camera take control!

Works with Robotics Invention System

Vision Command is designed to work as a stand alone product, but it also works as a powerful accessory to the Robotics Invention System.

When you have both products, you can build robots that react to what they see.

Using Vision Command's programming system, you can program robots to respond to motion, light, and color. With a few commands, you can make your robot search for, pin-point and track an object like a red ball, or possibly a brightly colored family pet. You can let the robot explore on its own and watch the action live on your computer.

For users who own both products, the Vision Command CD-ROM will unlock additional features, including:
Extra Training Missions to provide step by step guided instructions on how to use the two products together.

Additional commands within the Command Center that let you program your robot to move and react based on what your LEGO Cam sees.

Extra Challenges for robots using RCX and LEGO Cam together, with video demonstrations as well as tips on design and programming.

The Vision Command Constructopedia also includes building instructions that show examples of how to build the LEGO Cam as part of robots that move, so you can make your camera watch and follow you, or just go and explore on its own.
