Running the robot using Infa Red?

An idea came to mind while I was sitting here just looking at my PPC, controlling the robovation bot using IR, but is this even possible? Maybe not for the actual competition *It can't...I'm pretty sure* but for an...extra outside kind of thing? Could it be done?

I would need the reciever on the bot, and the PPC can reach 30feet, if I need more I can build a larger sensor thingy *I'm not in the state for technical words, 8 hours of sleep in 2 days* But the software for the PPC would have to be programmed, and would it even connect to the robovation computer?

Just a...thought that might be cool to explore. Thanks for any help
