I think Odroid is AM based? So I don't know. Besides, I think the Axis camera will do just fine, and I don't see any compelling reason to use the Kinect for this years game. Just got a hold of a Radxa ock (ARM) board. It looks pretty powerful but there is no time to get on this year's bot.

OpenCV and OpenNI work with ARM just fine in my expirience with using 2 different ARM boards with the libraries (The odroid x2 and XU)
I have said this before, but I will reiterate it: Do not rely on the kinect giving accurate depth measurements at a competition. There are so many stage lights saturating the field with IR light that the ir pattern the kinect emits will be flooded out and the depth map most likely won't work.
I have a quick install of opencv and libfreenect if you're interested, and a bunch of demo programs I wrote that explores a lot of the opencv and opencv2 libraries.
