This is very possible. When I asked RoboRealm for a copy for us to use to test the Kinect's IR vision capabilities, they gave me some interesting feedback.

RoboRealm is in the KOP for this years competition! Since you will
already have the link you can ignore the card coupon that will be in
your 'kit of parts'.

I do recommend that you have a look at the new Network Tables module
that allows for much easier communication to the CRio. Its the same
technology that SmartDashboard uses to communicate back to the driver
station. You will need Network Tables 2.0 (an upgrade from last year)
running on the CRio in order for that to work.

Look out for new tutorials specific to the 2013 just after kickoff.
There will be another new module launched to make your life easier for
the competition.
