It seems to me that this would be legal (assuming the 2013 rules apply in 2014).

What does the Chief Delphi community think?
COTS laptop on the robot was legal in 2013, if under $400.
USB on COTS laptop to power another device like a camera was legal in 2013 (if that device is interfaced only to the COTS laptop).

Personally I'd use the Parallax Propeller for this, it has USB and the cogs lend themselves to reading encoders nicely, that said using that or the Arduino as a custom circuit should have been legal in 2013.

Keep in mind you are going to add at least 1 pound of weight doing all this.
Perhaps you can manage this with an Android device?
