If this isn't helpful I apologize.

I found it.

Other than the system provided by the Arena, no other form of wireless communications shall be used to
communicate to, from or within the Operator Console.
Examples of prohibited wireless systems include, but are not limited to, active wireless
network cards and Bluetooth devices. For the case of FRC, a motion sensing input device
(e.g. Microsoft Kinect) is not considered wireless communication and is allowed.

(emphasis mine)
This states that the Kinect is allowed to communicate with the Operator Console (The Driver's station).
I'm honestly not entirely sure what my intent was for placing a Kinect in the Driver's station.
