Hey 224- You guys were a great partner at Lenape!
Anyway-
Yes, there is a VERY big distinction between ON the robot and at the Kinect station. Both are very possible, yet first explicitly supports the kinect at the kinect station (Duh), but if you want the kinect on your robot, that will take a LOT more work, yet it still isnt THAT hard.
Bottom like it involves putting a 2nd computer (Crio and another processor are now on the robot). Heres a good White Paper on it:

Be sure that you REALLY want the kinect on the robot though! Its no a straight forward thing to do.
