Last weekend I was driving by FIRST and I heard something about using 2,000 mailboxes in their latest control system.
You download code by sending it as an attachment (encoded in binary) to myrobot@new-uber-robot-controller-5000.ִ̣com, at which point an embedded speaker on the controller blurts out a "You've got Mail!" message load enough to be heard over even Blair and Grady on Einstein Field.
They've also pioneered a radical new power source for the controller, but that's still top secret until Krispy Kreme announces their new donut factory in Manchester, NH next week. But the most important thing to remember is that the new controller is not a big truck, that you just dump stuff on. It's a
series of tubes.
