Point the camera straight up to the ceiling, but have a convex mirror pointed down at it that lets it see a distorted image, but an image all the way around. If you use some clever algorithms, you can correct for the mirror's distortion and produce a 360-degree image to feed into your stock color/shape recognition software.

This is beyond my intelligence, and the rest of my team's for that matter
What an issue would be, is if my robot had to lose it's y-axis offset (say it went over the bump or climbed the ramp) then the image would be lost, and programming this would take more intelligence than I have to spare. Could there be an easy(er) concept?
@davidthefat:
What I am going for is basically like an automated tank turret system that stays locked onto the goal while I go around and feed balls into it to shoot. I've already programmed for the distance to shoot, and the turret is designed, but the problem is automated aiming. This is far from "hello-world" for a high school programmer
