Something like the Raspberry Pi, or several other single board computers might be a solution. Given the low cost of laptops, tablets, and even smartphones, you could probably rig up a way to run them legally... you'd have to pull their batteries... even a little lithium cell on the motherboard... which would be a hassle as you are not normally allowed an electrical power source other than the main battery.

I'm not saying I know what the software for this solution would look like, but I do know that I've seen some pretty impressive solutions.

The 2012 robot rules were slightly more permissive than in previous years. <R36>: "...Batteries integral to and part of a COTS computing device are also permitted (i.e. laptop batteries), provided they’re only used to power the COTS computing device."
