HCR is now supporting Kinect!

After one year working on HCR robot platform, we are now happy to announce that HCR is now supporting Kinect. The kinect sensor is now widely used in robotics area. With its unbeatable price and capability, Kinect becomes one of the standard sensor for mobile robots. There is no excuse why HCR can not have it. So let it be. Here is the first view of HCR robot.
New capability:
1)Support Lion battery with up to 4-8 hours running time
2)Support Embedded PC
3)Support 12 inch Laptop
4)New motor with double torque
5)Fully integrated power management system

I've been away from the robotics world quite a bit but I own one of the first kits of HCR you sell, actually my video about it is still on your product page!
I had to buy the new engines as one of the old ones broke but I cannot fit it unless I create new brackets for it. Are you going to sell spare pieces for the HCR? I would be interested in the engine support.
On the other hand, are you going to sell this kinect support as a expansion kit for people who already owns the base because I would be interested too.
If not, any plans to publish or provide any cad/blueprints so we can machine the parts ourselves?
Cheers
