Has anyone else noticed that the term “Altoid Tin” has become PC size reference for what used to be “a pack of cigarettes”?

I’m a coach on a FIRST Robotics Team. Our programmer is using one of these on our bot this year for some of sensors and cameras. I’m not sure exactly what for, I mentor the mechanical part of the robot.

Here’s our team website. http://frc3941.techbrick.com/ Personal and corporate sponsorship opportunities are available and sorely needed. PM me if you’re interested.

They shouldn’t call that a mini-computer. A PDP-11 is a mini-computer. This should be called a mini PC, perhaps.

I’ve watched this thing come to fruition for quite some time now, the only thing is, I can’t think of anything to use it for. Probably going to use it to control something, but haven’t decided what.

I have one on the den TV running Raspbmc so I can stream video. It works great. It streams 1080p video just fine. I measured the power draw and it will cost me <$5/yr to leave it on 24/7.
