Both. We wanted to see the interference and have true line of site driving.:D

Kind of a dumb question, but what is the point of them?

First of all, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask!

The point of the IR Goggles is to be able to see the Infrared light being emitted from the remotes on the field. Therefore we can use it to minimize transmission interference and ensure proper communication with the IR board.

I recall a rule prohibiting tinted safety glasses. Also, the "communication system" of the RoboCoach is specified to be "handheld", which may pose another issue. Pretty cool looking though.

Wow!

I've gotten the chance to see them work and its absolutely nuts, you can see beams of light, like light sabers in blast. This will enable 25 to determine transmission pulse structure and maximize their IR performance.

It is going to be interesting to see them in action.

That is really cool, I never would have thought of that. Nice thought!

Headmounted has been declared OK by Q&A. The tint might be an issue, but certain tints are legal.

how much did they cost, and where did you get them from? (if i may ask)

So, we've been getting lots of IMs and emails about how you can't see IR indoors. Well, this video was taken indoors--decide for yourself. :)

That's an awesome idea! Good luck with it you guys!:)

I won't deny however, it is super cool.
