Well good luck to all teams that will be going the Kinect route, but I personally believe that is not the right way to go in the context of this competition.

Just remember to innovate, and not imitate.

If you would really want to know why I am thinking this, just PM me.
Using a kinnect for advanced perception would be extremely innovative. I'd almost say it's a lock for winning awards at champs.
