Re: Use of laptop on robot

you could do it with last years rules if you used a Solid State hard drive and took out the stock fan and used a KOP one (not to hard seeing that mines cooked by a cooling pad since the internal fan died. you could put a lightweight linux distro on it and hibernate it before a match to make it book quickly. not sure it would be worth the trouble though since most laptops dont have allot of IO but i may be useful for image recognition or tracking of objects etc
