The current cRIO is a solution akin to using a sledgehammer to drive a finishing nail. Sure, it works, but its clunky.
Agreed.

Went to VEX Worlds and saw hundreds of matches run with no dead robots. This was using WIFI and literally had dozens of the robots on at the same time.

IFI only got better after they left FRC. They have a VEX ARM9 that's more than suitable for vision processing and have a decade of robot competition field experience !

IFI - stands for Innovation FIRST International, they were a company founded by FIRST mentors for FIRST teams.
