Kinect on the robot

During kickoff this morning, it sounded like the robots could have a connect on the robot and I didn't see any rule banning it. I can't seem to find any sample code or anything for it. This year, there is no ban on second onboard computers (as long as they are not the master controler), so in theory, could you have a computer on board to process Kinect information and pass it to the CRIO via ethernet? I don't think my team will do this, but I am wondering what other people think on this. I think this would be a great way to track the hoops and tell the robot where to shoot balls.
