Re: Running the Kinect on the Robot.

Um, did anybody ask if it's the standard Kinect? We keep thinking standard, and therefore USB, but they might be special ones, to connect direct to the CRIO. Plus, if it is meant for "the operator level", USB is fine for the driver station laptops. That could tell us a lot. But six weeks, that doesn't leave alot of time for CRIO USB conversions. Whatever you'd do with a kinect, you could probably do with something similar, and easier to attach. Might not be worth the time.
