The mindstorms have too little memory to run any CLR.
As for mono, the requirements for corlib.dll+System.dll+mono/mint
are about 1.5 MB, this will easily grow to 2-2.5 when the libraries are
complete, though for an embedded device all the runtime could be
stripped to less than 1 MB (and then you need libc, libgc, libglib).

The RAM requirements are quite low compared to, say, the equivalent
java runtimes, but still, to run a useful program, you need at least a
megabyte of RAM for the process.
