Well he would be 'wrong'. Robotics isnt the cutting edge science it was 20 years ago. It's a mature technology, the same as computers, more so in fact, since most of the new developments in robotics involve developments in computing power. Its still advancing of course, but there arent any unsolved theoretical problems left that arent specific to another discipline. As for programmability, The ITX boards support 2-4GB of ram and a quad core processor along with expansion cards like a GPU, I'm pretty sure the brick doesnt come close, its not even in the same ball park, hell its not even the same sport.Originally Posted by lruc
The brick is a toy, or at best a siple prototype for teaching. You won't see the brick on a Mars rover or building cars in a factory, or piloting a UAV or in a Terminator.
