Re: Team 488 using Kinect for autonomous navigation
Yeah, we're hoping the time investment will pay off next season... but it does require a number of things (an onboard computer, good line of sight for the Kinect) that are expensive from both a cost and design perspective.

We hope to have a white paper and some libraries available for consumption before the end of the year, in case anybody else is interested in going down this path.

Overall, it has been a fun project. Has anybody else been playing around with an onboard Kinect in the offseason?
