I am bumping this one up cause I honestly did not want to start another thread and as the kickoff gets closer, I thought people should see this.
I found a solution to the image processing problem.

No battery: Legal
4 USB ports = Good
Runs Linux (The Arm 9 Linux uses 32 mb of ram, and this has 32 mb ram... So IDK...)
I realized I can not use the PS3 or a PC due to lack of voltage generated form the batteries... Don't they need a minimum of 110v? and the battery is 12 v.
It says it supports up to 4 webcams, but I do not know how well it can perform while processing images.
I can either just process the data and send the raw data obtained from the camera to the cRio and process the logic there or process the logic on the board. Thats a minor detail that can be experimented with.
