Very neat video, but it probably takes several watts if not 10's of
watts just to keep the copter in the air.  Therefore a few milliwatts
higher or lower for cpu power consumption makes no difference.  Ease of
programming matters a lot more.  Maybe I don't have the hang of it yet,
but the GA to me seems to be quite hard to program.

I suppose so; it just seems very difficult.  I'm open to persuasion but
my own attempts to figure out things to do with the chip usually end up
running out of one resource or another, usually code space in the nodes.

It would be nice to know where to order it from...
