Regardless of whether or not the code exists getting distance values from the camera will be a fairly imprecise method. I would instead suggest using the KOP digital encoders in conjunction with a position tracking program. I don't know of a Labveiw edition of one but i know that there must be. I have used in Java a program that by getting encoder values with give real time the position and speed of a robot on a Cartesian plane; The encoders in this years KOP are extremely accurate and if implemented in this manner would yield not only the distance to the goal, but if used in conjunction with a field map would give every distance on the field.
