Odroid-U3 Computer

Ok so many things have changed recently with ex-builder. when V4 is released we are not specifically confined to windows in order to run our robots. A while back there was a small computer mentioned but was written off because it only ran android and linux. However now i think it may be a great option for someone trying to run an onboard computer! its only $60 too...

Thread where it was mentioned:

website to company:

i could be completely wrong in thinking this could work... but for the price i really hope that it does! :D

This is interesting! You could put the ARC app on the android software.

That's what I'm thinking as well! the only concern I had was if we could program the ARC app/project to open on startup....

that's perfect *eek* I will have to try it with the app version we have now.

Just pointing this out but there are hundreds of android "pc" devices and also android TV devices that are very small and will run ARC. I would recommend you get one of at least 1.0ghz dual core cpu if not a quad core.
#6  
Will these android "pc" devices run a Voice recognition app as well.....Are we saying goodbye to windows OS?
#7  
Not just yet I robot , windows has more power and will handle much more going on at one time. Plus it can run 5 boards at once for either a complicated project or up to 5 individual ones.

And windows is still required to actually program your project... I believe the android app can only "run" the project
