Personally, even though I do not like the way the Kinect was used THIS year, I think the Kinect will be a very fun and interesting to use in FRC, both on the robot and with a human player. But even if I didn't, that doesn't mean that I WANT it not to be there, other teams may want it. I'm just not understanding all of the "get rid of the Kinect" stuff people are saying. No one said you had to use it.

Last year it was harmless, and it won't bother me if that type of implementation sticks around. But I'm hoping Kinect doesn't become crucial for being competitive in the hybrid period, because I don't think it's the right tool for the job. If it's important this year, maybe we'll just use it as an elaborate switch.
