Re: Laptops: Will You Guys Use Them On The Robot?
This form has some discussion of weather or not it is even legal to put a laptop on your robot.

For me as per R19 "No individual item shall have a value of over $400.00. The total cost of COMPONENTS purchased in bulk may exceed $400.00 USD as long as the cost of an individual COMPONENT does not exceed $400.00."

It says VALUE not cost. If you jack this $200 dollar laptop with $1000 of software in my eyes this would put the value of the laptop at $1200 and would be over the limit as per R19.
