I like the kinect, and love the idea of controlling the robot that way, but my code is more accurate and faster, and there are not enough weeks in the build season to practice with it. I know Bill mentioned that "the Kinect will play a bigger role next year", but I honestly hope it does not. I think if it stayed as an optional hybrid-period mode, it'd be useful to some teams, but any "bigger" role may ruin things.

Just my $.02.
It's usefulness this year was constrained by the game. If you have a game where you can interact with the other alliance during hybrid, then it could become far more useful to provide direction to the robot. It just wasn't needed for this years game.
