Re: Why even Go with the kinect?

Instead of viewing it as a control method, we view it as a start/stop mechanism. Last year in autonomous, we had many problems with field calibration that lead to a couple big penalties from putting an ubertube in an opposing feeding lane. The way I look at it, the Kinect is a way to avoid that. You can program a simple command to realign the robot a tad to save the hybrid mode
