I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with this that they'd like to share.

I used a gumstix to do binocular vision this year. They're AWESOME, and they work great. I'm putting together a wiki page on the gumstix tikiwiki, explaining everything, and I'll have my code up on their subversion repository soon. I'm also developing a wifi positioning system, using gumstix. All that info will be there too.
