This sounds good, but we need a board designed for robotics that will use 
this CPU (and I'm sure others would too).  About how much power would a 6833x
use anyway?  Will Motorola ship us the spec sheets/books?  

Along those lines, are there any good books that can jump start CS 
grad/undergrads into the EE world of designing controllers?  This is the 
biggest problem we've run into trying to build robots...
