At this point I'm not entirely sure whether we will be doing the vision processing on the drive station or the roboRIO. The roboRIO has a slower processor, but sending an image from the camera to the roboRIO, then to the modem, and then to the drive station sounds like a lot of latency.
We tried this last year and with the right settings it worked OK, the problem is the FTA had to talk to us because we were exceeding our bandwidth limit since the image we were sending was too high resolutions.

The other problem we had was we didn't account for the diamond plating on the driver station so the reflection from the LED ring was tricking our vision tracking software into thinking it was a target.
