I have heard similar things, however, the counter-argument that I have heard is that running image processing on the cRIO, if ran simultaneously with enough code (no idea how much though) causes noticeable lag in the processing speed. One solution to this that I have heard is to have a second laptop mounted on the robot, and directly wire that to the camera and cRIO, however, I am not sure if the game design rules allow this or not.
