the sad part is i am using a ACER ASPIRE ONE on robot and my cell phone (verizon note 2)is 4 times faster and 1/3 the size

I think I'll win in size and speed by linking this one:

Click me!

Though in comparison with the rasberry its super expensive, it might need some extra stuff to run but, still WIN(ish) because it can run windows 7 and its only 10 x 7.2 cm (3.9" x 2,8")

Winning in my book is a good balance between cost, size, power and lack of waste. If the board is too powerful and costs twice as much as a board that's just about right but slightly bigger then the larger board is going to win in my book.

Provided it fits in the robot, is the cheapest possible for the required system resources to run whatever needs to be run and is energy efficient enough not to have to recharge the robot every 15 minutes then it's in the win column.

Especially with EZB, all the board needs to do is run Windows XP/7/8 smoothly, have full voice recognition and text to speech capabilities and run ARC smoothly.

If it could also run the latest Crawl to Booty - Bee Bops on the highest resolution ever thought of whilst streaming 1080p HD video content over a wireless network then it's like putting a Ferrari engine in a Zündapp Janus

I like winning
