Re: 987 Implementation of Kinect on robot

We'll definitely put something together to help teams who want to look into this. Its going to take a little while because there were a lot of steps to getting it working. There were several pitfalls that we encountered but working with a "3D point cloud" from your sensor is pretty darn cool. We could accurately tell the range, heading, and "bank angle" of the backboard.

One other thing, I think this year the work that 341 (Miss Daisy) did was the best in the world and it didn't need an extra computer on the robot! Definitely check out the information they already posted; its probably a better roadmap for success.
