Yeah. each XU's got some power! I actually think an XU is more powerful than my laptop, with an i3-2367m! I however only get ~2400BMIPS processing speed in Ubuntu

Not only will the wiring be hairy, the computers will draw just a ton of current, so batterywork will not be fun!

By the way, the D'Link only has 4 ethernet ports. Are you guys going to have an extra switch on the bot to give you more ports? I think you'll have 120lbs of computer, not of robot, aluminum and other important robot stuff!

Think wisely of what you will lose by having so many onboard computers!
