Interesting. This makes me think of the Mindstorms RCX in the fact i've used it as a jammer to stop people from changing the tv channel away from the one i'm watching, simply by telling it to send message 1-10 and repeat. That completely jammed the remote from getting any response out of the tv.

My thoughts are this will go on the robot to respond to how the fields setup.
And being able to use any tv remote allows you to emulate the actual field.
Im picturing a large transmitter (or several small ones preferably) placed around the outside of the field that send messages to the robots be it autonomous or normal gameplay.
