Depends on to what the USB camera is plugged in.
Also depends on how you service the USB camera.

If you plug the USB camera into a coprocessor and you feed IP from there you still have a USB camera now on IP.

If you plug the USB camera into the RoboRio now you need to make sure you service the camera in such a way that if something odd happens you continue to run.

Either way works but now you are in competition season.
Might be asking a lot from your programmers to change this right now.

In the past Team 11 used USB cameras from a wide variety of companies on a Gateway netbook on the robot.
The data would be processed on that netbook and instructions like: LEFT, RIGHT, SHOOT where delivered by DIO, UDP or I2C to the cRIO.

Even if the netbook entirely failed these same functions could be operated manually even if it happened in mid-match.
We could stream either a series of pictures or low quality video to the DS computer.
