Legality of Changing Kinect Angle

Technical Technical Discussion
1

I have written code in order to be able to set the kinect angle in order to be the exact correct angle for our human player. I do not see anything in the rules about the legality of doing this at competition, but I would like to know if it is legal to control the angle of the Kinect on the field.

Thanks

I can’t think of a reason why you couldn’t adjust the angle, but you would probably need to talk to Mark (the FTA) at the event. Good luck!

I don’t see a rule against it but the default FRC Kinect Server does not appear to set the angle so it likely won’t undo the change you have made. So it might be legal per the rules but I would recommend against it.
