Isn't it remarkable how fast it all adds up? I'm looking to use an automotive-type PC (www.logicsupply.com has many to choose from, Im too lazy to build my own). I'm starting to learn C# after brushing up on Visual Basic these past few months.
With 2-3-2 installed, Im shy on space for a PC and stuff right yet, but we'll see what happens. Right now, I'm starting with R/C, so I can get rolling, then I'll try to phase in a PC and some AI control.
Logic Supply is where I'm ordering mine from soon. I'm ordering the
D201GLY2A.
I'm totally new at C#, But i'm learning as I work the code.
What type of frame do you have in your droid?

Sorry guys about not being around as much, But between the code and catching slack from the comp guys
I've been pretty busy.
