Fair enough. I and the other programmers on team 8 (after trying to work with a coprocessor for the past few weeks) decided that it's more worth it to just program in regular C. We haven't been able to prove that the extra power is needed, while a coprocessor is much more complicated to run and maintain than regular C code.
