Robotic Submarine Running Debian Wins International Competition (debian-news.net)Robotic Submarine Running Debian Wins International Competition (debian-news.net)Posted Oct 13, 2009 14:26 UTC (Tue) by MegabytePhreak (subscriber, #60945)In reply to: Robotic Submarine Running Debian Wins International Competition (debian-news.net) by ledow Parent article: Robotic Submarine Running Debian Wins International Competition (debian-news.net) Sorry, I meant to say that the point of these competitions was not to push the absolute limits of autonomous submarine technology. It's great to play around with some neat ideas but in the end, budgets are limited and even more so time is limited. Also, you only used the numbers for a single battery pod in your post, but as far as I can see you used two. You keep talking about efficiency, but for the computing side the standard rules apply. For the most part, programmer time if more valuable than processor time. Using Linux makes the programming environment more accessible for new students with their innovative ideas, as compared to using something like VXworks or QNX.

Its a competition so that it is, in fact, designed specifically to push
limits.
Budget limits, time limits, experienced limits... You know things you
