If you are interested in using
Jetson TX1 for your robot, we are offering all teams a $299 discount for Jetson TX1. You can obtain your discount code through here:

Also,
Jetson TK1 is included in the Kit of Parts. You can obtain with FIRST credits.
NVIDIA's Jetson platform includes powerful software libraries like GPU-accelerated OpenCV, VisionWorks, and cuDNN/Caffe for deep learning. Leverage them to unleash the 1TFLOP+ of compute capability offered by JTX1 module and power your robot with smarter brains and advanced onboard autonomy.
We'll keep an eye here on ChiefDelphi to help out anyone with assistance, but also feel free to post board-specific tech support questions on NVIDIA's
Developer Forums to quickly tap into the knowledge base of the Jetson community.
Our pals over at
Stereolabs are also offering a discount for FIRST teams on their
ZED depth camera, which uses GPU acceleration and easily integrates with both Jetson TX1 and TK1. Read more about it here:

Like yourselves, we're also robot builders and tinkerers over here at NVIDIA, and nothing gets us more fired up then helping others enable their work. Hope to meet each of you out on the circuit and good luck!
