Re: Kinect Updates Thread

There's a thread in the programming section which really got going. Basically, putting the kinect on the robot is going to cost your team roughly $200 and programming time. While I didn't know about [R67], the hardware required to process the USB signal and send it back amounts to a computer -- the devboards being the lighter and cheaper of the two options (devboard/laptop).

What also needs to be considered... Will it be helpful in either case? Like davidthefat was saying, it is somewhat unintuitive, as well as not necessarily providing any useful information. I could only see wanting to provide the robot with static information, which could be accomplished in some other, non-error-prone way. Or, assuming you did get it working on the robot, would the depth data from the IR camera really be helpful? You should know distance based on your starting position anyway.
