I can see both advantages and disadvantages to this system. The advantages are that I don't need to have a computer to run the system, and that (presumably) all bots have the same resources at their disposal, so that would level the playing field. The downsides are of course that the bot needs to run on Linux, and that it probably takes a while to get a new bot added and/or updated. The advantage of CGOS was that you could add a new bot to the mix within seconds.
