I think you mean Botball, which ran of the Charmed Labs Xport Botball Controller. The XBC which used a FPGA plugged into the gameboy game slot. The gameboy provided the CPU power and screen, while the FPGA did fast blob tracking and dealt with all the hardware. Botball moved onto a modified version of the chumby running Linux this year. Hopefully I'm remembering my facts right, but I distinctly remember the reason they moved on to the chumby is because they pretty much ran the used gameboy market out of gameboys...
