Re: The kinect on the Robot

The reason I choose puppy linux was because it has the capability to boot in 30 seconds and can load its whole operating system into ram.

We thought about using windows but its big and clunky to boot and we all know if we simply cold shutdown a windows computer it will want to check the disk for errors

The arduino was one of my first thoughts but I wasnt sure if it could take it, but i also saw a team using the beaglebone and had successful results
