Either way we should look for a solution with the DIO board since that will probably be the most natural interface to work with when wiring up the Kinect. It would actually probably be pretty easy to put together a tutorial on creating a male usb to the individual power wire and the I/O wires that can be connected to the Kinect. Could be as simple as buying the Kinect legacy extension from Fry's or the like, and cutting off the ends of the wires, stripping them, and wiring them appropriately.

The problem is not in getting the Kinect physically wired to the cRIO, the problem is that the FRC cRIO does not have a USB Host Controller.

I could see someone getting a Kinect running on a robot using a mini-ITX motherboard with a SSD drive. Another option would be to get it running on a microcontroller. I will likely be working on using the Kinect with a Luminary Micro 3000 series chip at work sometime in the next few months, but I'm not certain I will have anything there before kickoff.
