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

Oh, didn't know we could plug sensors on can... That's pretty cool actually Thanks guys! I'll start working on that!
