Team 254 Kinect Hybrid

[DCA Fan]

This is fantastic. I wish you guys had pulled it off in CVR too!

[Jakester9999]

HAHA!! Very nice guys, wished I could have seen it in person. Can't wait to see the ideas coming for practice competitions now!!

That was hilarious! I really wish I had been watching Curie to see some of these matches.

On a side note, this reminds me of Ideas for Team 33 Underside Saying (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=84041). Just replace 'underside saying' with 'things to do in front of the Kinect.'

Pretty impressive that your robot has such a huge number of options. Definitely should have won some award..."Highest Number of Dress Changes for a Human Player Award".

Poor Microsoft. The Kinect has turned into a joke, albeit a pretty great one

[joelg236]

Did not realize your team did this during competition. Had a pretty good laugh.

I only saw the last one as well, so I'm glad that you guys posted the video after hearing about the others. Best laugh I've had in days. Will there be an encore performance at IRI?

As you can see it's a fairly advanced system, with extensive visual detection functionality. Our Kinect operator spent weeks practicing the precise movements you see here.

We found the Kinect to be very useful!

We are open to answering any technical questions.

Did you guys do a study on the size of the white balls on the green suite vs there effectiveness?

That really made my day. By the way, what is the origin on the cheesy poof's intro dance this year?

[rachelholladay]

or was that a 2013 game hint, poofs style?
