ROBOTS must be controlled via one (1) programmable National Instruments cRIO (P/N: cRIO-FRC or cRIO-FRCII), with image version FRC_2014_v52.
There are no rules that prohibit co-processors, provided commands originate from the cRIO to configure, enable, and specify all operating points for all power regulating devices. This includes Jaguar motor controllers legally wired to the CAN-bus.

You could even go so far as to have a shell command program on the cRIO that took commands from the co-processor.
As for the ROS, I haven't played with it too much, but our current vision processor is the ODROID-U2 does have an ROS software version:
