Well, if you mean stream the video from the RoboRio to the Raspberry Pi that would involve still running a stream on the RoboRio. I suppose that is better than sending the steam over the WiFi as you don't get all the inherited field bandwidth limits and the like.

Still - is the cost of a more compatible camera for the Raspberry Pi a big thing?
Cause it would seem easier (time has a cost) to get you a camera that works than dig into this design.

Could you try a different webcam for some testing and see if your situation improves?
