Comment on Rex – palm-sized, single-board computer for DIY robots

I wonder how much power it drains. The RaspPi uses "only" 3 Watt, but that is a way too much for many interesting applications. There are some hacks to reduce to the power usage (by replacing the voltage regulators for example) but i wonder how much this board will use.

Well, in most cases when 3 W is too much, the application is simple enough that you could do it with an Arduino - which draws far less power.
