I just read in the newspaper about this failed toy from
Fisher Price.  It's a video camera for the little tykes
which records its images on ordinary audio cassette tape.

Hmmm, I said to myself, that sounds like the sort of 
bandwidth I could use on a small robot!  Besides, it's a
toy, right?  How expensive can it be?

Does anybody have more solid information on this toy?  How
expensive is it?  Has anybody attempted to use this thing
for a similar purpose?  How easy is it to hack the interface?
Any pointers will be appreciated.

Patrick
