I reached out to the duckietown team members to see if we can work together.  If you know anyone on the Duckietown team, would appreciate an intro.  I believe our two efforts complement each other very well (we are focused on HW, them on curriculum framework for ROS).

I'm participate of duckietown Chile, but i don't  know anybody in the MIT team or another team.

As for vision on a RPi, totally agree.  Im thinking at having a ROS container and/or VM that runs on a laptop/server (maybe even in the cloud) do the heavy lifting computations, while pointing at the ROS_MASTER_URI on the ROSbots Pi running ROS.  Assuming you have the bandwidth to stream the images from the Pi Camera to the machine at 15-30 FPS (which shouldnt be a problem compressed at 640x480), you can run vision, localization, whatevers with another ROSbots brain living off the actual RPi.  Hope that makes sense!

That make sense, is a very good idea process the data in a powerful computer to get a better result, could be in a docker it's a easy and quickly form to test.

BTW - what are you working on using ROS?  Love to learn more.

I am a undergraduate of Computer Science student and I am working with a Parrot Ardrone with [pharo] (https://pharo.org/) and [LRP] (https://pleiad.cl/research/software/lrp) , a live programming language designed for the creation of the behavioral layer of robots. I am also part of duckietown Chile where we use robots to teach ROS to second grade engineering students.
