The Kinect control does work a bit better without the costume (as the costume makes the head look really big to the Kinect), but we thought it'd be fun for the video.
Sorry, my bad! I forgot you guys were 294, and your mascot was a surfboard. So when I watched it, my first thought was, "Why is the driver wearing and orange banana?"

Great video, and great maneuvering! As a driver, I could never control a robot like that.
