Re: Running the Kinect on the Robot.
One thing that I may think of:

Possibly using another small computer, such as a Raspberry Pi board, this as far as I recall is legal under the co-processor rules, so long as it doesn't interface with the bot directly. Then the two boards could communicate via I2C. The Pi board would allow for some VERY high level tracking and analysis, then I2C could send some of the tracking info back to the cRIO.

Just a thought.
