For Experienced FRC Programmers:

There is an option to process the Image information on the Robot or process the information on the Laptop. A laptop has much more computing power than the cRIO but the network connection is situation dependent and overall much less reliable and repeatable. If you want to process the images from the camera on the driver station dashboard follow this tutorial:(Otherwise skip to the next one)
