Rasberry Pi for a demo robot driver station

[eneubec1]

We are putting together a demo robot that interacts with the crowd and thinking about different ways to have a smaller driver station.
Our demo robot is using a RRIO and programmed in labview.
One of the wild ideas we had was to use a Raspberry PI3 that runs linux and run the Java Driver station from the PI.
The PI3 has a onboard wifi module and we could find a SD card big enough to hold the programs we need. It only has 1GB of RAM.

We are not sure if the driver station would run on a PI3 or not. We are also unsure of how to run the driverstation without installing the entire labview development enviroment.
If the driver station is the only program that runs on this PI, would it work?

Thoughts?
