Re: Using the FIRST provided Classmate as an on board vision system
We attempted to use the Classmate for image processing a few seasons ago. It doesn't work well. I would not recommend it.

What we found was the Classmate lacks the CPU processing power to be an image processor.

I recommend a more powerful laptop if you want to do image processing on the driver station.
