Yes, watch out. Something like this sounds right. Ask FIRST or read the manual before doing anything.

It kind of sounds like FIRST didn't really plan out how teams might use the Kinect on the robot. They really meant it for the driver station. So now that it is proving to be quite difficult/not easy, it's kind of a loss to us because we've got to get it working in 6 wks. Maybe there wasn't much they could do, but it's kind of a bummer.
