By default, you probably are already streaming the camera image to the driver station PC, so it should be fairly easy to adapt the dashboard code to run image recognition. Last year the only thing we had to send back to the robot were the coordinates of the rectangles we were tracking, so we didn't have any latency issues.
But should we "discriminate" based on how long your team has been around? If you think about it, FIRST's goal is to inspire students, right?
...But students on rookie and second-year teams, if anything, are in greater need of being inspired.
