IMHO: "Basic Vision" - No.
Except for the low bar, crossing a defense introduces a lot of uncertainty on where you end up. You will need more than "basic vision" and NavX to figure out where you are to shoot a high goal.
NavX can get you close (+/- 0.5 meters after 7 seconds). Who knows how much NavX will be thrown off by all the bumping over the Defense. Then use Vision to find the goal and figure out what you have to do to get to a shooting position.
If you want to score the low goal, then you need to drive up to the wall (note: the ultrasonic sensor has a minimum distance of 12 inches), turn, and then drive some more. I have no idea how easy it is to find the low goal with the ultrasonic sensor (low goal may be at an angle, and has a big hole in it).
