That is not a very good way to do it. Given the network architecture we use, I would go so far as to call it a spectacularly poor way to do it.

Your dashboard program should be getting the image directly from the camera, without forcing the robot program and Smart Dashboard communication to be an intermediary. The default Dashboard already connects to the camera and reads the image. You just need to feed that image to your vision processing.
