Kinect on the robot
During kickoff this morning, it sounded like the robots could have a connect on the robot and I didn't see any rule banning it. I can't seem to find any sample code or anything for it. This year, there is no ban on second onboard computers (as long as they are not the master controler), so in theory, could you have a computer on board to process Kinect information and pass it to the CRIO via ethernet? I don't think my team will do this, but I am wondering what other people think on this. I think this would be a great way to track the hoops and tell the robot where to shoot balls.

The question comes down to how you are going to power that on board computer. The rule right now is:

The other thing is cost. Is the value of the laptop going to put the robot over the limit? With these in mind 706 is most likely not going to pursue using the kinect and instead stay with our trusted webcam vision and target tracking. |

Oh, and the Kinect is not powered by the USB port, it has it's own power input that is integrated into it's custom (But COTS to the Kinect) USB cable. |

This is a cool application of the Kinect with the code...
