Kinect usage at competitions

[DoronS]

At the NY Regional, I don't remember seeing any teams using the Kinect. One team I talked to said they had used it successfully at another regional (Long Island?), but that it wasn't working on the NY field.

Our team found a use for the Kinect, although it probably isn't what this thread was meant for. We set up a cool demo in our pit where you could manipulate a 3D model of our bot on a projector just using hand gestures, Minority Report-style. Another team was using the Kinect to play a xylophone. If there's any interest in our Kinect-CAD project, I'm sure I could find a video somewhere.
