Brain
The Raspberry Pi inside, and where its time goes. 4 of 4 skills learned.
What the official app costs
With its camera view open, the maker's desktop app pushes the robot's load to 7 on 4 cores. Closed, it drops back to 2.4. Measurements and one simple rule.

My desk robot's Raspberry Pi CM4 was at 96%. A budget, thread by thread, about 750 ms of work per image, and a one-line change that halved my program's load.
Without the computer: moving the program onto the robot
A desk robot should not need a laptop. Benchmarks on the Raspberry Pi CM4 inside, a first launch on board, and the antenna that starts everything.
