That would be *relatively* easy to do with Vision Command, if you make sure
the ball is some bright colour (say pink), and the two "teams" are red and
blue for example. Mount the camera above the "pitch" and you've got yourself
a positioning system.
Take a look at how some of the Robocup entries work, while not exactly
foosball, the basic idea is similar.
