Sugestion : I Would Like To Use A Kinect With My Turtlebot.

It would be nice to be able to EZ my TurtleBOT. I have three roombas.A 405,4125, and a Create. I have a 530 but it is broken. But, I have plenty to get going. RoboRealm was a little too over my head. So was ROS. So, now I have bots sitting around doing nothing while they could COME ALIVE! with the EZ bot Board I am thinking. Need support for Kinect because it has a Laser type emulation. This is like having a thousand dollar laser for $150. You can do VSlam and other things. Also, a very good Audio system and webcam. So, I hope the Kinect is on your list.

I am not sure. The Ad seemed good. Time will tell.

I have a Kinect. The main purpose was to be able to track faces and colors and understand the super audio capabilities. But, the MAIN reason was to Navigate Autonomously. I don't care if it is a camera, or Kinect, or Leap.

I have BIG plans for my robots. How can they do Amazing things if they can't even go around the house without banging into stuff? That is a problem I have had since I started in robots. It seems the machines that would navigate properly did not have enough UMP to do anything else. so they avoided Objects and then ran out of cpu time to do more.

That was on the Ardunio. I am Praying that the EZ-Board won't get S L O W when you giving it many things at once. But, it looks promising.
