I have exactly zero experience programming these things. I'd imagine it would be easier to communicate via the USB port or ethernet (or perhaps even CAN), though there is no reason the DIO wouldn't be allowed
Usually teams use independent boards for vision processing. Normal sensors usually take only a tiny fraction of CPU power. Also note that if you are using a Talon SRX with CAN, sensors can be plugged into the breakout board for the motor controllers (which may be in a more convenient location [like our tether-bot this year]) and the roboRIO can read those sensors over the CAN line

As goes with all of my advice on CD, try it yourself and make up your own mind. I'm just suggesting things based on experience. See what works for your team. Follow my suggestions to the letter, mix and match them, or even throw them completely out the window. It's all about you and your team. - DampRobot [more]
