Angry Kinect - Not a waste

We use the driverstation kinect as an "e-stop" in hybrid. It actually saved our turret from twisting for 15 seconds in one instance (gyro issue). Later it saved our robot from ramming the co-op bridge which was being held up by an opposing team. The kinect may also be used to delay qualification match shots since most teams will be shooting two to four balls in hybrid at IRI. It only seems to be a waste if you try to actually drive your robot with it for 15 seconds.
