OV7670 Camera and ActivityBot?

Hello everyone!
Anyone knows something about using the OV7670 camera module with the ActivityBot? I mean, it's C just like Arduino and can use most of the C libraries (I thought about OpenCV for image processing). I read the camera datasheet and realized that the clock frequency from the ActivityBot is not enough, but I don't mind low frame rates because I just want to see small objects like a ping-pong ball and then grab/move it using the gripper.
I thought about building the image in the SD card and then sending through the Xbee connection, but I not sure how to do that either. Maybe sending pixels like characters and then converting this data to a image again?
The project requires sending images to a PC using the XBee module or HC06 Bluetooth module. The robot and the Xbee are working fine, but I'm still searching about the camera. Do you know anything that could give a hand with the camera module? Thank you!
