We did some tests early in the season when we were tuning our target colours where we saved a couple hundred 160x120 JPGs to the cRio. It took quite a while to save even those tiny images. I think having a thread saving images would greatly hurt your performance in the match.

On the other hand, you could have a button your drivers could press to take a snapshot (frcWriteImage in WindRiver), then maybe collage it with your own video of the match.

And I believe there has always been a rule saying that teams could strap a video camera to their robot for marketing/documentary purposes, though it'd probably be counted in your weight budget.
