I object to that statement (of course there is some bias). It does seem that no one really used it though. I hope they don't get rid of skeletal tracking input for autonomous. The only other thing you can use it for is to look at targets. There is too much light on the field to use the depth map sadly.

These boards do seem like they will be really fun to play around. Awhile ago, texas instruments was selling their board (launchpad) for 5 dollars a piece. I can't wait to see what teams do with the Galileo.
