Re: Kinect in auton allowed

I think the Kinect is a very good idea. It is a much better sensor compared to the Axis camera and can be used to offload vision targeting to a computer on the robot vs. using bandwidth to the driver station.

It is certainly not a waste of time to learn how to use it, especially since it has a nice sensor for distance.
