I don't know of anyone ever having a problem with the processors. I know we ran out of code space last year (code, not variable), but with the quadrupling of the space this year we were fine (all our tracking code and everything took up about 1/3 the code space).

6 sonars was just a funny idea I was throwing around before, they'd be spaced out at 60 degree intervals on a full circle so as to allow an updated complete view of the field every half second or so.

A few sonars and Sharp sensors might be better, but I know we'd need more than 1 sonar (all the Sharp sensors have too limited a range for what I was thinking of).

I think Dave's going to give us all 3 cameras next year from that statement.
