Thanks for your input everyone!

This is exactly what i had in mind (specifically the target in lunacy or or the target in breakaway or the scoring rack in logomotion). However, our team has always had problems with image proccessing and java (see statement). In fact, our programming leader is against even using the camera with the cRIO because the robot ran over a computer last year as a result of an error in the code! I suppose I could always convince her otherwise, but I don't know how I would get the robot to proccess images efficiently.

This seems like the best option. But is there a method to set the camera IP in java? I don't see any option besides the normal init. statement. I have heard that classes for image proccessing in java aren't as complete as those for C or LabVIEW. Could it be because of this? (I would love to be proven wrong here...)
