[robocup-athome] External Computing Devices

Hi All,

I have been requested to ask this question by the TC. We are currently using two external computing devices for the HSR: 1. Google Cloud SDK 2. A custom workstation with Ubuntu 14.04 My questions are: - Are these valid external computing devices that can be used in robocup? (Apparently yes) - What are some experiences with internet/cloud based services? Are they reliable or should we try to keep things as local as possible?

Thanks! Anas
