It's not true that to use the Kinect you need to use C#. You can use the built-in gestures without anything special (it looks like a normal joystick). You can also process the kinect skeleton on the robot. I suspect more teams will do this then modify the kinect server, since they can do the processing in a language they're more familar with (LabVIEW, C++, Java, etc).
