Now that I've explained what I've already built since last year, I'd like to point out that this may not be an arms race that is wise to start.

There are countless high performance items that could end up on robots. Parallex Propellers, GreenArray GA144s, Altera and Xilinx FPGA and that's not counting the likely laptops and embedded PCs that'll show up.

And yes...this probably would get crazy:

Someone's bound to show up with a laptop on the robot this year.
