First, a disclaimer: I am not a programmer. I am a mechanical mentor dipping my toe into the programming side to help set some wheels in motion for a vision system.

My team is 100% Java. For a variety of reasons we have decided to program in it exclusively.

There are lots of choices for implementing a vision system. On the roboRIO vs on the driver station vs on a co-processor. If on the DS, it could be in roboRealm, NI's code, or something else. I'm not familiar with the individual requirements or pros/cons for each of these options.

My question: as a pure Java team, what is the path of least resistance for getting a vision system up and running? We've never done one and I want to make sure we get something implemented this season, even if it is very basic.

Thanks.
