You have something less than a thousand bytes each robot communication cycle. What you use it for is up to you. If you want to stream video through it, you'll have to do it on your own, encoding and decoding on each end yourself. The example Dashboard program wants to see video on a separate port that is completely unavailable in competition.

On a side note: My team had though of having a snapshot button on our OI board to take pictures: is there any flash memory on the cRIO that we could use to store images on there until we can download them onto our laptop?

There's 128 megabytes of solid-state disk with a reasonably standard filesystem. You can pretty much write anything you want to any file you want, and you can retrieve those files easily via ftp.
