Examples of items that will violate this rule include (but are not limited to):
C. Any devices or decorations specifically intended to jam or interfere with the
remote sensing capabilities of another Robot, including vision systems, acoustic
range finders, sonars, infra-red proximity detectors, etc.(e.g. including imagery on your Robot that, to a reasonably astute observer, mimics the Vision Target)

While not specifically making IR illegal, it could be deemed to be interfering under this rule.
But it never says anything about a person's deccorations
