As I stated, it just doesn't have enough horsepower to be the driver station, AND perform image processing. So unless you have a really scaled down image process function (ie.. not directly copy and pasting in the sample code provided) you won't be happy with the end results.
That's disappointing to hear. I shall give it a try once the camera comes in because I already programmed it. I guess most likely will have to do it the same as last year. I was really hoping to be able to calibrate from the Dashboard.
