Re: pic: Game hint

Since we're concerned about potential interference, I'd like to ask teams who used IR back in 2004... were there problems of the two IR emitters in 2004 reflecting off of objects and interfering with each other? Or if you used another IR sensor (such as the Sharp range finders), did the IR emitters on field interfere with their operation?

If there weren't problems then, I don't see any reason to think there will be this year. Our team took the line following approach that year seeing as I did autonomous and was just beginning programming back then, so we didn't see how the IR was out on the field.
