We can't assist a relatively weak Robot Controller in its Autonomous Mode with outboard CPU assist designs, unless we're both VERY frugal financially, AND all of the parts used happen to be stock items with only a few specific vendors.

Actually that should be fairly easy knowing what I now know about the pic microcontrollers. I am almost certain that I have heard of teams this year of using pic's on there robots to help there Robot Controller out. And considering the fact that Digi-Key, which was one of the suppliers this year, carries over 4000 of them which are usually no more expensive than a few dollars. The only real expenses with them are the programmer and the compiler (unless you like assembly) which should not count toward the final amount since they don't go on the robot.
