The

in parallel. With proper coding, the cRIO should
never be too busy to not set the outputs.
Co-processing complex inputs, like cameras is feasible, legal, and in many cases, recommended.
Bottom line: You are
not allowed under current FRC rules to use a separate processor to control or modify the control signal to the motors. It isn't feasible anyway and what you're proposing won't do anything but be very hard to accomplish. The cRIO is an excellent product, get to know it.
