Our team is thinking of putting our IRI board under a plexi glass cover that is protecting the electronics. Will it still be able to receive a signal under the plexi glass?

If It's clear I'm pretty sure it will. One way to find out is to try it!

That depends on your robot design... You should put it somewhere visible so you can use the remote and also somewhere safe from impact. We're probably going to mount it on a servo and stick it in the front with some polycarb around it to protect it.
