I'd really like to know. It's been a long time since I've dealt with anything of this nature.
I feel so totally ignorant for this challenge.

Just so it's only ignorance. Ignorance can be fixed, it's stupid that's forever.
To answer you question, the STAMP processor currently used is much to small and probably too slow to do any voice processing. That is why they suggested using an auxillary processor.
A related factor is the noise during competition. While your filter may be able to pick out a voice from random noise, can it do so out of noise that is many times louder than the desired signal? Or have you ever tried to outshout 1000s of people?
The best drive team we have had were brothers, they never had to talk on the field, the manipulator guy "just knew" what to do based on the drivers actions. They claimed it was the result of 1000s of hours of playing video games together.
Now a telepathic robot, that might work! Oh wait Azimov did that one already.
