Dear DJ and team,I started

Dear DJ and team,

I started with EZrobot back in the V3 days. I've since messed around with Arduino, Pi and other platforms but I have to say my kids and I have had more fun with EZrobot!

That being said, I see a very interesting opportunity for ASIC based machine learning in the EZrobot platform. In my day job I have investigated the CM1k neural network chip for pattern recognition. It takes a 256k vector input, parallel processes 1024 neurons and can report back a result in microseconds! It's about 300x faster than a normal CPU for this kind of work. And the API is fairly straight forward to boot. The creator of this chip is General Vision https://www.general-vision.com/ As far as I can tell, their neurons are the only ones available on the open market today.

I've spoken to the inventor and their small team. They are a great bunch and are eager to make waves in the maker community.

How cool would it be to have a CM1k on the EZ-B v5?!?!? There is also an option to have the chip running on the PC side (though I can see some limitations there) http://www.cognimem.com/products/design-resources/CogniStix/index.html

With cleverly designed EZ builder modules kids could start teaching their bots to do incredible things!
