Re: [FTC]: IR Block for Block Party

Note that if your robot is driving parallel to the pendulum and if you mount the IR seeker pointing directly ahead, the zones to detect the IR beacon will become 2 if it is on the left side and 8 if it is on the right side. Both zone 2 and 8 are very narrow. Mounting this way will make your robot capable of detecting the IR beacon on both the left and the right side.
