These are the standard FIRST colors, and we now have included in the kit, an IR board with 4 selections on it. 4 choices and 4 beacon outputs, hmmm...

Perhaps, one part of the game will be that each human player will select from the 4 IR choices mentioned earlier, and that is what will establish your desired game parameters (scoring location, value, match length of time, starting or ending location, alliance partner choice, something that would influence the outcome, ect).

Human player interaction using the IR - its "in their hands".

i would just like to get this out there but what if the IR board had nothing to do with game play and instead was just a ridulosely(?) expensive hint???
-probubly not

but it does sound a little feaky and conspiratorial

HOORAY CONSPIRICY!!!!
