Dave,

Well, I've hit a snag. After an all-night Mountain Dew and pizza-fueled programming session, I've got 19 robot controllers setup as a pipelined stereo vision processor running the 27,000 lines of MER stereo vision code that I ported to PIC C18. I have an additional 53 robot controllers running a pipelined version of the MER "GESTALT" local path planner. Everything seems to run pretty well, but my EX18-12 battery completely discharges in only 5 seconds. I asked the crack FIRST engineering staff to make an exception to rule <R46> and allow me to add the additional three batteries I need, but they wouldn't budge. I then asked if I could use a flux capacitor for power, but that didn't go over too well, either (they did say I could use it for decorative purposes, though). Anyway, can I get some partial credit for the effort? I'd be pretty happy with just two dozen.
