I suggested the FLL box for use in the pits as a safety measure.

Scenario: Team A is testing out their new arm code. They have stopped briefly and are waiting for something. One of their commands is "raise arm." Unbeknownst to them, Team B across the aisle has the same remote and unintentionally has the same buttons to do different things. Team B is testing their robot and hits the button. Team A's arm starts moving suddenly, catching a team member in the head.

In the pits, I would want the box over the sensor to block IR; I might even use the remote in it.
