The barrier I see in front of widespread Kinect usage is the fact that they only supplied one per alliance. No team with hopes of winning (so, pretty much all of them, however realistic those hopes might be) will design their strategy around something that they might not be able to use if someone else wants to as well. Since they can't rely on Kinect even being there to use, let alone rely on it being an accurate control system, they don't use it.

They'd have to develop a conventional autonomous mode as well, so why even bother with the Kinect? It ends up being extra effort for marginal returns.
