Go to Post It's rather simple: you start with a block of solid and remove material until you just have the robot left. Kind of like making a sandcastle. Only harder. - petek [more]

Co-processing complex inputs, like cameras is feasible, legal, and in many cases, recommended.

Bottom line: You are not allowed under current FRC rules to use a separate processor to control or modify the control signal to the motors. It isn't feasible anyway and what you're proposing won't do anything but be very hard to accomplish. The cRIO is an excellent product, get to know it.
