Re: Anyone interested in a Linux-based robot solution?
I always thought it would be nice to see like a 200Mhz ARM running linux. Programming the robot could be as easy to dragging a file to it over ftp/ssh. you could distribute a cross compliation package out of free open source tools.

then again, i wouldn't mind seeing the old IFI Controller come back (but maybe with AVRs ;p). It seems like the the programming has been much abstracted from the low level stuff. Guess I just miss having lower level hardware access.
