Even if you use, say, 15 PWM outputs plus the 4 (might be 6...not sure) user bytes to transmit from the robot to the dashboard port, you have 19 total bytes * (1000msec to a second / 26ish msec to the loop) = 19b * 38.5 loops to the second = 730 bytes a second. That is *slow*.
Consider the fact that the smallest semi-decent picture is about 320x240. Assuming it's black and white--one byte to the pixel--you now have 76800 bytes to transmit. Divide by the 730 bytes/second =
105 seconds.
Sure, there are ways around this, but the reality is that this system is not designed for that kind of throughput.
