I reckon there will be a maximum of 3 robots that implement Kinect in this years competition
I agree that's it's awesome, unfortunately thus far in FIRST based on previous games, there is little point value incentive to do it. The autonomous tasks it could have solved were solved easier with less resources. Doesn't stop a team from doing it because it is cool however, or if the autonomous is something pretty different from the past.
