Re: BeagleBone

So there is a big differences between a $30 Arduino, $90 Beagle board and the $370 VEX ARM9.

But the underlying question is do you need external co-processors? Lots off cool things you can do. I've built systems with external boards that run the motors, external boards that do senors and a central board that makes decision.

Slightly harder to do, but it's easy to have a co-board waste cycles doing video prep over things that will never be acted on.
