OpenCV has stereo camera functions in it. They even have GPU support.
One can very easily recreate the fancy ZED camera with 2 $10 dollar webcams. If you want 1080p, then you'll have to spend more, but there is no reason you need 1080p for FRC. 480p is plenty.

The Zed is a fancy camera but it was born for this kind of stuff unlike the Kinect, the RealSense Cameras, and even the existing OpenCV libraries, which can't easily sync frames between cameras.
That being said, if you are going to go the OpenCV route then I would suggest looking at the PlayStation Eye cameras. You can also hack them to sync frames. They are very inexpensive and the frame rates can be jacked up to where they'll work great. I do recommend a reliable USB hub for those though into the Jetson.
It's like FIRST saying "Well it was too hard, so we give up. Lets give the kids something easier to do." How is that supposed to inspire kids? - Mike [more]
