Based on my observations for the majority of FRC teams an Arduino... and I mean an UNO, not even a Mega or Due, would be more than sufficent to meet their programming needs.
The vast majority of teams would have difficulty convincing me that they really needed more processing power than a Due could provide.
Back in my day a
1MHz 6510 CPU was just a good excuse to learn some assembler! What do you kids need all this new-fangled gadgetry for anyway? It just makes you lazy! Sheesh.... grump grump grump.
