Re: IR Sensors- will they attack hot Chiaphuas?

Didnt those use the visible light spectrum? And the light sensors projected, whereas the IR sensors just pickup, so there really isnt the chance of seeing reflection when there isn't one. I went straight dead reckoning, though. Getting to the top of the ramp and hitting boxes in 5 flat seemed better to me. Anyways, in the line vs IR arguement, i'd say IR because you can see the IR from anywhere. The line, on the other hand, can get smugged up, lost, and once you are done with it, the sensors are useless. Ir can triangulate though.... hehehe
