I'm just wondering, what exactly are you planning to do on the cRIO that requires optimization of the math library? Also, you'll only see benefits on things that deal with complex math and vectors, not something that teams really use too much on FRC robots.

If your robot's code doesn't work correctly (100% CPU usage), and it needs to be optimized, you can post it here and people can help.
The robot is functional.

I just have a lot time on my hands so I've been investing my time into learning new software design, coding concepts, techniques and libraries even if its trivial or non applicable to the function of the robot. (What im doing is more for my own benefit, but if i can incorporate it to assist my team its even better)
