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.
We have found that the only fluid not allowed is hydraulic fluid. We understand from having a robot inspector on our team we are allowed to use a closed system. If you find differently PLEASE share!
