"What is a Raspberry Pi," you may have asked yourself when looking at my blog. A Raspberry Pi is a mini computer. It is equipped with a 900 MHz quad-core processor and 1 Gb of RAM. While it is nowhere near the specs of a modern computer, it can still do pretty impressive things. For example it can be used to control robots. One would program the Pi so that a rover-like robot could do things like autonomously traverse a certain terrain looking for something. An example of a robot can be seen here.Something else the Pi can do, something I'm more interested in, is using it to play old video games, such as Super Mario Bros. and Pokemon. It can run all old games up to the Playstation and Nintendo 64! Maybe I'll do this for my final project...
