Jason,
I am currently attempting a little ROV using some 9p for control, but I
am using inferno hosted on linux. That might be the quicker way to get
your 'bots speaking 9p. I am doing this because right off the bat I
need a webcam. I also need to prototype this very quickly so mucking
about in hardware drivers and OS nuances is not an option.
Sounds like fun! I'm curious what you come up with!
-Jack
