Answering this email, listing some of the robots in our club, it
came to me to wornder: is there was even one example of a robot
based on PC motherboard and Big Iron OS, that didn't have to
have supporting microprocessors under it?
As I tried to think of examples, I couldn't remember even a
single robot that fit the description of PC based and no micros
doing the real work.
Can you or others point to an example? Do they even exist as
real operational robots?
I don't deny I've seen many of them built, and heard of many
being discussed. I just don't remember one ever actually being
operational.
