Re: IR sensors

Thanks for the help, we're going in the right direction now although we need clarification/help on the rest of the IR system.

As described we understand the IR sensors on the robot "seek out/home in on" the sensor(s) located near the 10 point balls. Did we receive the parts needed to create the "sensor" at the 10 point ball location? Are they the square "reflectors" (look like bicycle reflectors w/wires- 4ea) in the kit? If so, what are they connected to? Given Kevin's posts relating to "code" for these sensors (at the balls) it sounds like there is some type of "controller" (computer?) running this end of things. Correct?

Again, thanks for the help.
