Just to add one comment about the CameraServer class... Please try it early and let us know if you are having any issues including latency. I understand that the environment in your shop might not be completely the same as the field, but it would help you understand the basic performance and let you tune parameters to make it work for you. And, you can give us feedback while there's time to fix bugs or do small optimizations before the competitions start.

If you are just using the camera for getting a remote view you can try an ethernet camera connected to a switch on your robot. Then you can view the http stream on your driver station computer and not go through the roboRIO at all. However, we expect that the hit on the CPU will be minimal just for moving images through without processing.
