Re: Kinect

As said before, there was never a rule against mounting the kinect onto the robot.

I think the real question regarding the kinect is how they will work it into the game differently than last year. From what I heard, correct me if I am wrong, the powers that be weren't happy about the minimum use the kinect saw last year, and that it will be a bigger factor this upcoming year.

Or, at least, more tempting to use somehow.

I don't want to turn this into another game speculation thread, but possibly a slightly longer auton period or an auton period with somewhat of a more random factor where having human input through the kinect would be simpler then a preprogrammed auton. Just something that would put more emphisis on kinect use.

To answer the OP - I think it will be perfectly legal to mount it on your robot again, and possibly even encouraged
