So Lost - Need Help!

[Unforgiven_Hero]

Okay so I'm the only programmer on my Robotics Team and I need some serious help. I'm okay at programming so I can figure most things out, but I have a few problems.

Our robot uses 4 mecanum wheels to start off. My program creates
a robotdrive(1,2,3,4) which is for the four motors for each wheel. I then use
the joystick we have to control this. However, I have no idea how to move the
robot using the Kinect. In fact, I don;t understand how to program the Kinect at all. I noticed in one of the WPI templates that the Kinect gives data
on the left and right axis, but I'm unsure of how that works with Mecanum
wheels. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, for the Kinect - do I have to install the sdk and any other software? I didn't need one for compiling my program but I don't know what I need for the driver station.

Any help or guidance would be very helpful. I can PM my code if it helps, or if I can look at someone's code that would be immensely helpful.

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,

Luke

Luke - I hate to say it but if you are just now getting around to messing with the Kinect, it is too late unless you have a practice bot. Make sure you can move in tank or arcade mode, then add mecanum math, try to move your shooter and gatherer. If you get any of this done on ship night, you would be awesome!

Good luck!

I have a practice bot so its fine. I think I got the Kinect to respond finally.
