Unfortuantly, all my good sample code is at home and I'm going to be leaving for the Portland regional after work. When I get home on Sunday I will try to post a few samples of what you can do with this library.

This is what I would do.

I would also recommend OpenCV. However, if you looked at it and it does not fit your needs (they are for PC's as you said), you can write your own functions for doing it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong (I have never dealt with color tracking), but I would take this approach:
Find the YUV values (or range of values) that correspond to your target color.
Locate the pixels that are in that range (assuming your array indices correspond to image pixels), cancel out all the pixels and small blobs that are alone (representing false positives) and you are left with your blob.

Often rectangle-fitting is adequate; start the rectangle on a pixel that you know to be part of the object (due to color), and expand the rectangle in all directions until the colors are outside the threshold.
