I beg to differ, Processing on the cRIO drags it down, and sometimes will create 'lag' as it processes it.

You're already sending your webcam image to the dashboard. Why not process that? Retrieve whatever goal info you need, and send a string back to the robot.

All we're sending back is a Boolean if the goal we're looking at is hot or not.
