Re: Using Vex Brain as FRC Coprocessor
Quote:
AVR:
* Chip: AVR ATMega2561
* Speed: 16 MIPS at 16MHz
* I/O: 16 channel 10 bit ADC, total of 86 programmable IO lines
* Program space: 256Kb
* Programming language: avr-gcc (AFAIK ANSI)
AVRs have the advantage in every category. Spending an extra $130 to get a fraction of the benefits... nah.

No they don't. In fact by introducing a microcontroller like the AVR you open about 50 other cans of worms which would probably make the price point about even with vex. The most annoying of which would have to be soldering it to something. Look at the PICs that are controlling your robot this year. Now imagine trying to solder it.
