Since our target was business usage, I am a bit hesitant about tackling Lego
Mindstorms activities with the Embedlets project. It might damage our
credibility for "real world" applications, which we first set out to address.
I don't see much need for Lego Mindstorms to integrate with a back end J2EE
or .NET server...which was one of the fundamental goals of Outpost.
That being said, there is no technical reason that someone couldn't use
Embedlets to control Lego Mindstorms, and create a library of useful, reusable
Lego Mindstorm embedlets.
I just think our initial emphasis should be towards the commercial sector
(process control, shop floor automation, machine monitoring/control for the
manufacturing, distribution and engineering industries), as we had initially
planned.
