I know Mike already responded to this point, but I want to emphasize something: what we did with our robot was NOT done entirely with the built-in processor. It wouldn't have been possible. We had to add our own external microprocessor to do it. Think about
that.
Honestly, a better processor will help out other teams much more than it will help us. Most of our team's mentors are software/computer engineers. That makes us very well equipped to deal with limited computing resources of the current system - like being able to add our own external processor this year. For a lot of teams, that's not a realistic option, which means those teams will gain much more freedom with a new processor than we will.
