We used the Kinect in almost every match we played and were the only team at Kansas City to use it. We found it very easy to use, after we shoot our 2 balls we use the kinect to drive the robot closer to the Coopertition Bridge. We had practiced using it for about 2 weeks during the Build-season and our driver found it very easy to use.

We won the Innovation and Controls Award for using the Kinect as well as our "fancy" multi-autonomous modes that are scripted by an excel spreadsheet that we ftp over to the cRIO for each different autonomous mode we run. Credit should be given to Chris Hibner for inspiration for the autonomous scripting idea.
