IR is a form of light beyond the range of human vision but it is a form of radiant heat. My question is- does a heat source emit a specific wavelength or a broader spectrum of wavelengths including the ones sensed by the sensors?
Second scenario- the processors of the sideline computer control station emit a heat source or maybe have IR networking.
It would be fun to see all the IR sensors in the arena make a beeline for the control team. A real frenzy- who can hit who first- the robots take out the controls or the operators hit the stop buttons.
I'm sitting way up in the stands this season...
