Re: 987 Implementation of Kinect on robot

GRT Used a kinect this year. Unfortunately, due to comm issues at SVR we were only able to use it once. Afterwards we switched to manual control from an Axiss camera.

I believe the Kinect was hooked up to an onboard PC that talked to the cRIO. We found that the distance sensing was not a huge issue, and had a set speed that worked for the key. The Kinect handled panning of our turret to aim.
