Yup. We grabbed one frame, processed it in about 100ms, then fed the result into a control loop using the gyro. We were even able to pull out our lateral position on the field to shoot off center if we were on the side of the key, allowing us to have an accurate alliance bridge autonomous mode. We did this spending 0 dollars and 0 hours on an external computer.
