Using Vagrant/VirtualBox to virtualize the RoboRIO?

Just wondering if anyone has used Vagrant or VirtualBox to virtualize the RoboRIO. I ask this because my team only has one, and we'd like to be able to program it (and test it) without being connected to the real thing. Does anyone have any pointers that they can give? We'll probably also be installing the Java VM, which, if we have a FIRST system image properly installed and a correct network connection, should not be hard. If not, this'd make a good summer project

We could always build a test suite on top of our robot program, but that's just not as groovy as virtualization.
