Re: 987 Implementation of Kinect on robot

Our team also had a Kinect on-board, and like 2410, we used RoboRealm with an on-board computer. It works really well; tracking distance is accurate to within 1/4". The best thing about using the Kinect is the IR camera, and built-in IR projector. We have just as powerful a light as some other teams, and don't get blinded when we look at the robot head-on .

I'll get our white paper submitted on CD-Media soon, another team member has it.
