Personally, even though I do not like the way the Kinect was used THIS year, I think the Kinect will be a very fun and interesting to use in FRC, both on the robot and with a human player. But even if I didn't, that doesn't mean that I WANT it not to be there, other teams may want it. I'm just not understanding all of the "get rid of the Kinect" stuff people are saying. No one said you had to use it.

All Kinect was good for last year was to cause Replays at the events I worked at. We had to assign to people to guard it as if Obama was in the zone prancing around. If anyone set one foot in there during the autonomous period the match was a scratch and had to be redone.It was more trouble than it was worth.
