Unhappy Where do I begin with the Jetson TK1?

Hi everyone, as many of you know this years FIRST challenge is one that vision tracking may be useful for.

My team is 100% planning on using vision tracking. Here is what we have for it. If I need more parts for this or need to replace anything I would love to hear your suggestions

NVIDIA Jetson TK1
Microsoft Lifecam 3000

I think this is all we need for vision tracking, but I'm not quite sure.

Aside from that, I am clueless as to where I should start. We do not have any programming mentors, and I'm the only programmer on our team (8 people). Is it something as simple as plugging it into the roborio, and accessing it through the FIRST API? Can I even use Java? I'm just very frustrated right now, and am in dire need of help.

Something just to start me off, and understand how I can program and utilize it for vision tracking. One of my main worries is not being able to use Java to program it, but I'm more than willing to use another language if I have to.

Also, if it's not as easy as programming it in the same project as the rest of the robot code, how would I go about using the other code in the main robot project?

Thank you very much for reading and any responses you leave!
