I meant to say that robots that do use kinect/webcam control are more competitive, but that I don't think it will do much to solve the issue of robots just sitting there in auto.
With the exception of the Einstein finals, which are 3 out of the 10,655 matches played this year, how many of them were more exciting to watch because of kinect control? At least for this years game, shooting in a hot goal is not particularly more exciting than shooting in the not hot goal for most spectators.

No problem. I thought that you were trying to say something along these lines. I agree that immobile auto robots is still a big issue in FRC, and that having or not having Kinect/webcam during auto will likely have no appreciable impact on this problem.
