Hi Ryan,

Thanks for answer. A related question.

I have a iRobot Create and a device called BAM (http://www.elementdirect.com/files/10542B.pdf). With the BAM installed, I can communicate with the Create as if it were directly connected to my desktop/laptop host with a serial cable.

In this case, judged from your experience, can I just use one desktop/laptop, installed with ROS, with BAM on Create, so that to eliminate the need of another netbook on turtlebot, thus reduce the cost.

Thank you Jack

PS The only problem I can think of is the data from Kinect. Is Kinect directly connected to the netbook on turtlebot or the data from Kinect can be wirelessly transmitted to the other desktop/laptop, if it can wirelessly, we may not need the netbook, may we?
