I have heard like, 6 different thoughts on Co-Processors, i.e. an Arduino to handle other functions, ranging from an "Absolutely!" to a "Absolutely not.", and from what I gather, the Co-Processor has to
- Not drive the bot
- Talk to the cRIO about any driving
- Disable when Kill Switch is hit
- Be powered off the Bot's power supply
Is my list correct? I'm thinking about dealing with the Computer Vision on a Co-Processor and not get asked to remove it.
