I was the student lead for my team when we beta tested with the Kinect with LabVIEW this fall. We have a dual autonomous mode, one of which is Kinect based. I can try to answer any questions you have. On the request of a few teams we have published a Kinect manual that can be found at
http://team1912.com/docs/kinectmanual.pdf and all of our Kinect findings from beta testing can be found at
