We used a single board computer, the O-Droid X2 in 2013, and this year we are using at least one O-Droid XU. They are very small and lightweight, but can manage about 27 fps if you write your code efficiently. Last year we were averaging 28-29 fps during matches. Our whole vision system will weigh less than a pound this year.
