The increase in cost would be from making sure the thing works not the processing power. NASA puts stuff into space all the time with processing power less than computers from the mid 1990's and yet those processors cost more than your entire networth. Of course NASA is a really bad example of the cost inflation because getting electronics to work in space is not trivial.

I guess I'm joking, I hope, since there's really no way for Lego, NXT or Robolab to be part of FRC. But nothing would really surprise with FIRST right now.

Why though? If done correctly you could theoretically come out with a great program. Out of the four kits the controller using the most advanced processor is the NXT.
