Absolutely. I was not intending my post here to be a suggestion that anyone try using the Kinect on their FRC robot, as the GDC has explicitly ruled on it in the Q&A in addition to the rule you cited. I just thought some people here may be interested in what can be done with the device on a robot.

This is a very good point. Kinect is a very safe sensor technology. The fact that is uses a single frequency infrared light source makes it a laser device and therefore "this year" (note: these words were used by the GDC to answer to question) not allowed for field use.
The Martians (494) and More Martians (70) are still working with the Kinect and hope that other teams will join us in the adventure of discovery.
