The rectangle detection algorithms are the expensive process. I would advise trying to think of ways to locate the target that wouldn't require opencv.

For example I am looking at the rectangle as two parallel lines. The distance to the hoop can be determined based on the lines and your robots heading. In my case I'm using the kinect but that's more to limit the amount of field calibration that needs to be done.
