APC on Robot

[yash101]

Laaaaaaaggg!!! At competitions, if you are relying on vision processing heavily, you may get a 500 ms response time on your robot even if you had an i7 extreme, the most expensive one available. The network connection is unreliable. The ability to process within the robot and communicate via i2C or SPI or something hardwired to the cRIO. There's nothing more dependable than that. I think the 7 mbit/s internet connection speed cap is just random and in-required.

I think it would be most wise to process the images onboard, send the signals to the cRIO, and have a background process to update the driver station. Note, the driver station won't be very accurate at high speeds because of the laagg.
