robotics

[Bill Marriott]

My only experience with robotics is Lego Mindstorms ;)

As for the weight issue, have you seen the new Sony Vaio UX 180P? Perfect 
for his bike. Could be the cell phone (via Skype), iPod, and navigation 
control system all in one.

My one concern about using Rev for robotics control is that as far as I can 
tell, it's single-threaded... how would it handle monitoring multiple 
sensors and controlling multiple servos simultaneously?
