[oopic] Re: Extra memory (Future plans for robot to map room details)

You can make do with just one EEPROM quite nicely, just use a 256k
one (rather than the equipped 4k), available from (among others)
SuperDroidRobots. The 256k is, um, RATHER large for Oopic purposes.
This should have enough space for an Oopic-able mapping program. Pop
out the 4k, pop in the 256k, and map away. An 'S' board with TWO 256k
EEPROMs installed just about maxxes out an Oopic's onboard abilities.
If that don't do it, it is time to look at off-Oopic data storage.

Just not sure an Oopic is the best choice for the problem.
