Stack the deck and reduce the horsepower required.
For example, for tracking other robots, require that every participating robot computes, and broadcasts, 5 or 10 times per second, its location on the field and its acceleration vector.
This could be a tiny little network packet tagged with robot ID.
Is this less sexy to contemplate than full realtime vision on each robot?
Sure it is.
Is it almost infinitely more doable than full realtime vision on each robot?
Duh.
Constraining the problem domain is the only way this is going to fly.
Even so, the enormity of this undertaking only seems apparent to some.
Perhaps that's a good thing...
