As they said, there is a long Kinect USB cable that gets moved around between Driver Stations as teams need to use the field Kinect. Make sure you plug it into your Driver Station and test to be sure the Kinect is working with your laptop.

Inform the field crew that you will be using the Kinect so they can prepare, too.

There is a wooden case holding the Kinect at the corner of the field with a player area marked out on the floor. Inside the box is a high-end laptop that repeats the skeleton that your Driver Station receives from the Kinect.
That's what's running the Kinect Kiosk software.

The angle of the wooden box really doesn't matter. It can be crooked. What really matters is the direction that the Kinect is pointed. It's just sitting in the top of the box and the field crew can adjust it if necessary.
If your skeleton is centered on the screen and you can see all your arms/legs/heads, then the Kinect is aimed correctly.

Mark by repeating the skeleton you mean one you, the human player, can see?
