That's where SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) can come in.
(or, a partial implementation seeing as the field doesn't change from one match to the next (hopefully),
and a full map could be made once)

With a full map made, a path planning algorithm (such as A*, Dijkstra's algorithm, or others) could find the best path (shortest, least time, less obstacles, etc.).
And if this was constantly updated with current sensor information, it could try to find a route around other robots too.

Then the mapping phase would be fairly easy, as stereo vision can give you depth information.
This video shows an IRobot Create with a Kinect camera performing SLAM:
