Re: Laptops: Will You Guys Use Them On The Robot?

Really the only advantage to an onboard laptop would be image processing. I'm still not convinced that we're going to have to do so much image processing in order to be competitive in auton, so it seems like putting a laptop on your robot is a big risk for little pay off.

If you're thinking of a notification system for the feeder, I doubt a laptop screen is going to be bright enough to be seen across the field (especially when compared to an LED array).
