+As if today was not historic enough, while I was busy preparing the first ever
+[ev3dev Raspberry Pi release], fellow ev3dev contributor @sharived was busy
+launching a [KickStarter page] for [RoboSnap] - the first ever product built
+for ev3dev.
+
+[RoboSnap] is easy-to-use, kid-friendly USB camera made especially to work with
+LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 (using ev3dev of course) as well as Raspberry Pi and other
+platforms.
+
+Beyond the camera itself, the project is bringing Snap! and Scratch (visual
+programming languages) to ev3dev, so this is a project worth supporting even
+if you are not interested in the camera.
