Kinect on the Driver Station in Autonomous

Can a Kinect be used to control the robot during autonomous?

The rules seem a bit ambiguous.

Quote:
G17
During AUTO, any control devices worn or held by the DRIVERS must be disconnected from the OPERATOR CONSOLE.

Violation: FOUL
G17 seems to imply that a Kinect can be used because a driver would not be directly touching a control device.

Quote:
AUTO (aka Autonomous): the first ten (10) seconds of the MATCH in which ROBOTS operate without direct DRIVER control.
I think the answer will be what constitutes direct DRIVER control in the above sentence.
