The problem(s) is(are) far more complex than you might think.
Very few robots this year had on board computers in addition to the Crio. I inspected none in four events. Those teams that really wanted to incorporate the Kinect on the robot used them and a few others for vision processing. I don't remember seeing any on Einstein but it was pretty dark in the pit.
Al,
Our robot has an on board cpu (Panda Board) for our on board Kinect and we never had any problems until Einstein.
