We used a single board computer, the O-Droid X2 in 2013, and this year we are using at least one O-Droid XU. They are very small and lightweight, but can manage about 27 fps if you write your code efficiently. Last year we were averaging 28-29 fps during matches. Our whole vision system will weigh less than a pound this year.

Awesome! I assume you're using the OpenKinect libfreenect? Are you doing any image processing on top of libfreenect? Would you mind sharing your code, for other teams to possibly use?

He's probably using OpenNI, with OpenCV. That's what he typically posts about

For reference, in 2012 987 used the Kinect quite well.

this is just opencv with libfreenect A problem that we have discovered tonight is the plated metal on the wall of the targets. It will give an inaccurate reading of distance to the wall with a range finder or a depth map.
