Re: The sub $100 node is here.

I haven't run Robin on a Mark I or II, but we do include b.a.t.m.a.n.
in pyramid, so it should just be a matter of setting up some scripts
to talk to the open-mesh servers.

If you wanted to flash it with a different OS altogether, it would be
simple enough to make a dd image or a tarball, and use the pyramid
LiveCD to pxe boot it onto the board.
