Re: Vision co-processor Location
Completely agree that the robot side is preferable due to significant expansion of data speed, and reduced latency. In recent years, we've used USB cameras directly connected to a pi for vision processing. If you want to take it to the extreme, only the extracted information (e.g. height, width, and center of goal) needs to go on the network at all.
If you do opt to put vision code on the driver station side, it may be just as effective and much more convenient to install it directly on the driver station computer, especially if you're using a laptop significantly more powerful than the classmate.
