Just saw a review for another small computer that look pretty good for embedding in a robot. Currently available for ~$100 US. MakeUseOf.com is doing a giveaway too: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/voyo-v2-windows-10-mini-pc-review-and-giveaway/

Good find Alan! I am debating about getting one
@Jeremie,
Sign up for the giveaway, then if you win, you don't need to debate
My tip is find an old windows 7 netbook, and if you have the skill, open it up and mount it inside your bot if big enough.
Well, since this floated to the top of the forum because of a spam post, I might as well give an update. This machine was a bust. It would overheat and shut-down, and since it was a Lithium battery and already having heat problems, I was afraid to leave it plugged in attended. I tried to open it up to see if I could remove the battery and just use it externally powered, and it was clearly not designed to be customer serviced. Cracked the case, and components/cables were glued to the case so trying to take it apart killed it. I wound up throwing it away.

Thats a bummer man, have you ever used a latte panda?
I haven't tried the panda yet. I have been using one of these:

I have been thinking about getting a panda when I have a little disposable income.
it has a memory card slot on board for extra memory.
