Kinect Questions

First of all, I want to know if we're allowed to have the Kinect ON our robot. It seems like it was only intended to be used for people's gestures, but we want to utilize its depth-perception in the field. Since it has a wall-plug and USB plug, it doesn't seem like we'd be able to attach it to the robot without "hacking" it, so I don't know if we would even be allowed to rules-wise. If anyone knows about this, please tell me.

Also, how would we use it in Netbeans? There's a Kinect class, but I can't make an instance of it, and only one of its static methods is available to me. Do I need to somehow use C# and Java together to use it? It would be awesome if anyone could answer these questions.
