Title: Images, Vision, Timing, Setup

Images, Vision: This has the image acquisition module (an older version, but we'll work in Josh and Daniel's changes next Friday as we work out the rest of the image cleanup) and Ben's working vision module.

Timing: I built in frame rate limits for each thread. The threads seem to play together nicely now. The "hanging on naoqi restart" bug is gone and each thread seems to get a fair amount of processing time.

Setup: This also includes updated setup scripts for the new robots. I've set up one robot, and we'll leave at least two of the robots for non-seniors to set up as practice.

The only major issue with the new robots is that I couldn't get the wpa supplicant stuff that we were using to work; as soon as I turned off connman and switched to utwired, I couldn't ssh in at all. Unless there is a very compelling reason for using wpa supplicant that I'm forgetting, I think we can just stick with connman for now.

Also, some good news: I ran our old code on the new robot, and it walked and kicked and did a front standup without any problems. Only issue was the back standup, and that was probably because the hands were in the way.
