Which can't come close to the cRIO. Unless you're trying to do very intensive vision processing/process multiple images simultaneously, the cRIO can handle whatever you throw at it. I still don't know what you're trying to accomplish.

With regards to (this year's*) rules: Coprocessors are allowed, but the cRIO has to control the robot. [R67, R55] Altering PWM pathways is expressly disallowed. [R54, R67] You have to go through the cRIO anyway, so I don't see what you'd gain.

*I (not an expert nor insider) do not anticipate any of the relevant rules changing significantly for (near) future seasons.
