The domain that it will search in is approx. 15' x 15'. We plan (...) (28 years ago, 18-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

It won't fit by a wide margin. I was part of the original Java team and when it was called 'Oak' it was designed to be as compact as possible with a kernel footprint at around 100K. (fit in a single 128KB eprom) But now that it is not just for (...) (28 years ago, 18-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
