Gryo, Camera, Accelorometer, Ultrasonic, and Gear Tooth Sensors in one program

I am considering running a vex or EDU controller to handdle most or all of the sensors on next year's robot and want to have it working on this years robot this summer. What i want to do is have a serial cable runnign between the VEX and FRC controllers that would send all the sensor data mabe ten time a second. Idealy the VEX unit would know what pwm values were being sent to the motors so it would be able to say change the camera values as the robot starts to move. or be able to tell if the accelration is from the motors or if the robot got hit. So is it posibal to run this kind of program on a vex? How hard would it be to run Kevin's serial port code on a vex controller? And, i still don't have any good Gear tooth code.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions i'd like to hear them.
