For the router and bridge to understand the signal from youroperator interface, you'd have to convert it into TCP/IP networking data. A 2009 or 2010 control interface will do this automagically, but...

Re: Autonomous Planning
So what you're actually thinking of is more like

My concern is that this might not give you enough precision. I'd personally go with

target detection drops off with distance
Hello all,
In working with the ellipse/target detection code, we've discovered an interesting issue: if the camera is positioned within about 12 feet of the vision target, it gets a very stable lock...

Re: vision causes mega-lag in main loop
The cRio's going to slow down when it's doing ellipse detection. Period. It is inherently a very processor-intensive operation, and the cRIO's CPU isn't that fast.
That said, if you're worried...
