iRobot Sentinel Technology: Control Multiple Robots From a Single Table PC

FWIW, iRobot has been making military robots for awhile, and several were actually employed in Afghanistan for cave exploration and whatnot. Lives have been saved as a result of a robot exploding on a land-mine or other booby-trap.

...nonetheless, controlling several from one small computer is pretty badass.

A single table PC? As opposed to a PC that takes up two tables?

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords. I already give three of them free electricity.

That's the same tablet I use. I have yet to find its equal.
