Arduinos are not really a good platform for offloading intense math calculations; their value is in the large number of interface pins per dollar. Raspberry pi or another "micro PC" would be more appropriate for offloading calculations.

On the other hand, having the ability to program an arduino-based robot using this tool sounds great for LabView based teams to do training and off-season projects.
