Is cyclone II reconfigurable?

Just to correct Frank. Some Cyclone 3 devices can be reconfirgured dynamically. That is, the present image will reach a certain state where it will then go and reload another image from parallel flash. I have this working with my Cyclone 3 starter kit.

For the Robot app, I cannot image the FPGA having to chnage that much for different environments. The hardware around it will be the same but the settings and constants etc might need to be different. In this case I think it would be easier to just reprogram these. Hard to know without seeing the whole spec but the great thing with FPGAs is there are lots of choices!!
