We've been trying to get the Pi to mount its filesystem as read-only, but when we do that, networking disappears (and we need Ethernet working). Neither Stack Exchange nor the rest of the internet seems to have any remedy that has worked for us.
Teams that have used a robot-mounted Pi, how have you made sure that the Pi doesn't get corrupted when the robot power is turned off?

Honestly I have never had a problem. The RPi shouldn't be doing any critical system tasks when processing vision stuff. I've shut it down most of the time by pulling the power.
Sure, there are risks involved... but think about it this way. What does the RoboRIO run? What about your home router? (Answer is Linux).
Most of the time we just pull the power on those and expect them to come back up. I expect no different from the RPi.
