Laptops: Will You Guys Use Them On The Robot?

Well, after floating around ideas with a mentor from MaxBotix (They're not even five miles from our school, and yet we've never heard of them or contacted them for the past three years), I'd have to say no to this one. A mix of cheaper sensors, mainly the line following devices and ultrasonics, can do a far better job at mapping the whole field, and far quicker, than any camera system for a field of this size. As for artificial intelligence, the Crio is still capable of plotting routes, the best routes, mind you, on the field hundreds of times faster than necessary with the right code.
