While I have been successful capturing Kinect depth camera data on the Pandaboard, it is unlikely that we will be using the Kinect this year. Having a lot of success the Axis/Roborealm and the vision targets on the DS. We have replaced our classmate with $300 Asus netbook.

Do NOT assume kinect depth will work on the field. Think about how much lighting is being thrown onto the field. The depth camera will not be able to read the IR pattern emitted. Consider yourself warned.
