Re: Optimal board for vision processing

Another facet of this issue:

If in doubt as to the stability of your vision code/system:
make sure it is properly modular.

I've seen some really tragic losses over the years because vision wasn't working right but removing it was as bad as leaving it especially when the code is interlaced into the rest of the cRIO code awkwardly.

Putting the system external to the cRIO can make it more contained.
It is often possible to make the whole thing just mechanically removable when it is external (a few less active inputs here or there).

Remember things you never saw in testing can happen on a competition field.
