We have a couple. The mentors have been playing with them so far but we're going to hand one over to some students soon (our season just started). It's a nice development board. There are stability issues with running X11 on it in our experience. We've flashed it a few times and the process is painfully slow to update them with a clean image. It boots fast enough for a FRC team to use but it is linux so at some point it's going to get annoyed with being hard rebooted and will run fsck when you least expect it.
It doesn't do USB 3.0 by default, that requires some bit fiddling but not a big deal.
OpenCV is really fast on it, particularly for our needs. Nvidia has just released a new version of the CUDA software kit as well so there will be more updates coming soon probably.
