Re: Bills Blog - Classmate announcement

It would be awesome to use a good laptop, and run a 3d model of the robot on the dashboard. Where it thinks it is, where it wants to be, what it is doing, everything represented in a nice visual model (Although numbers are still nice for tweaking). This would only be required if the robot had an arm or something of the like, since a ball shooter wouldn't require much 3d representation.

The way he worded it, it sounds as though you have to use the provided laptop to get AC power. More info in January, I guess.
