Re: Regarding The cRio
That's a very neat idea, but really, the Cell is just a CPU on steroids. And thus, it's a CPU which can't compare to a GPU's performance, even though it's easier to code. It's like trying to compare anything to infinity.

Unfortunately, a PC case would probably be a big weight and shock-resistance hassle. These components already have to withstand huge Gforce shocks, even with bumpers. Kudos for the idea, though. That'd be interesting, seeing my neon-blue case on a robot.
