At this point, the Kinect plugs in to the driver station, and the code allows you to control a tank style drive train. It is very specific in that only ONE PERSON must be view of the Kinect at a time.
Of course, this is all BETA info, so take it with a grain of salt until we see the new game.

Again, this is still in beta, but there is a special SDK with API's for the three main languages (No idea on Python, Matlab, or Simulink). The SDK, as of right now, only runs on Windows 7 (No idea if that will change). Gestures are pre-programmed, but you can change them with Visual Studio Express.
Even if it doesn't turn out to work that well in competition, it'll be great for demonstrations (Deploying a minibot at the flick of the wrist, great way to engage the audience).
