Slight correction: It appears as if a couple of third party companies have ported OpenCV to the
Cell processor for use on a PlayStation3 (not much use for FIRST, I think) and to the
PlayStation Portable. I would love to see someone use the PSP on a FIRST robot, but the final version of the x86 coprocessor we put together was under two pounds and was several times as powerful as the PSP. And then you'd have issues conforming to the rules; the battery would need to be removed, etc. Either of these might be really interesting for off-season or personal projects though.
27x performance on the PS3 port supposedly.
Whitepaper coming soon...
