I didn't know you could at the time. I have not seen a benchmark of a simple opencv program yet running in parallel with the frc control stuff, so I cannot given any opinion about whether one should or shouldn't go this route.

You can also compile the libfreenect library (libraries now, because of freenect2 for the kinectv2), and use the kinect with the roborio. Again, I just know you can do it, I have no idea what the performance will be if you try it.
