Re: OpenCv :D

Your setup sounds amazing - I can't wait to see it in action!
Back in 2005, some friends of mine built a PC for their robot and ran LabVIEW for vision processing - but that was before SSDs were common (and before bumpers in FRC), so they were pretty scared that a crash was going to take out the hard drive. I'm glad that having a powerful co-processor is viable these days, whether onboard the robot or on the driver's station.

If you haven't already, you might want to double-check that your cooling system is legal. Fluids in any form are typically not allowed.
