Also, since I originally speculated on the laptop situation, I feel I should temper that suggestion a bit - I don't see it as a really great option namely because of the durability, not the cost. The cost of the current OI is ~$350. Add on the radio modem and some chicklets, all of which aren't necessarily needed with a laptop/wireless solution, and you can get into the price range of a low-end model, which is all we would need. (Yes, I know the chicklets aren't in the kit cost now.) But I would agree that its durability would be questionable, given the amount of abuse laptops seem to take at competitions. OI processing is a cool concept, though. Maybe the RC does real-time sensor-type stuff and the OI does game strategy-type stuff.
It's fun hearing everyone's interesting ideas. No need to shoot down ideas in this thread - I think they all have some merit.

It's a robotics convention/conference. It's more bussiness related than anything. Soemeone from IFI is giving a talk about the market for educational robotics.
