Our team found a use for the Kinect, although it probably isn't what this thread was meant for. We set up a cool demo in our pit where you could manipulate a 3D model of our bot on a projector just using hand gestures, Minority Report-style. Another team was using the Kinect to play a xylophone. If there's any interest in our Kinect-CAD project, I'm sure I could find a video somewhere.
Our team had the xylophone demo set up. We used it at Rutgers/MAR last week, but to our disappointment it was unusable at NYC. It was not set up properly, and field personnel kept walking in front of us, so we gave up.
