The default code for the FRC doesn't do anything with the IR sensors.

The code that uses the IR sensors can be found at Kevin Watson's site http://kevin.org/frc/


You probably want navigate.zip. That's what was used at the FIRST Kickoff to demonstrate driving a robot using the IR system, and it can be used almost as is. (You will need to tweak parameters to get it to work with your drive system.)

The code in the robot controller doesn't affect downloading new code.

What kind of mod did you do to the code to get it to download?
