The kinect stuff should be to get kinect data from the driver station.

As far as I know, it's impossible (well not impossible, but impractical) to get the kinect to work ON robot in it's original capacity. That would require implementing a full USB Host driver on two DIO ports AFAIK, which is theoretically possible but would be extremely hard (it'd probably leave you little time to code up the actual robot drive code).

If anyone has information/knows more, please say so. But it seems like the kinect isn't all too useful, and is more of a marketing gimmick (not that I'm complaining, it's a cool sensor to play with) on Microsoft's part, as most of the autonomous code can be done via vision onboard the robot without the need for much human intervention. I'm sure someone will do something completely novel with it though, so I'll have to wait and see.
