Back in my day a 1MHz 6510 CPU was just a good excuse to learn some assembler! What do you kids need all this new-fangled gadgetry for anyway? It just makes you lazy! Sheesh.... grump grump grump.

Except for that whole image processing thing...or all of the libraries that are needed. Arduinos don't have THAT much memory to put robust enough code on.

Think of all the stuff WPILib has in it. None of that would be available just because of memory restrictions.
