Of course this isn't what I want to do. I want an autonomous
brick without any PC involvement. The answer is to use one
of the smart cameras, like the CMUCAM and its copycats,
directly connected to the brick. The CMU Camera communicates
over RS-232 and has a build in processor for "blob"
detection. You tell it to look for blobs of color "X" and it
responds with "I found blob of size "N" at coordinates
"X,Y"'.


Or just use the afore mentioned wireless G camera and the PC to
provide similar but more flexible functions.  Just because there is a
PC in the loop doesn't mean it needs to do the control.  The robot can
be autonomous.  Just consider the PC a "large image processing engine"
:)

(I wonder if a palm PC like the ipaq and a webcam, or a handheld PC
with integrated camera could act in such a role...)
