Re: IR Remote Interference

i just tired this at home. It appears this WILL be a problem..... If two infrared commands are issued at overlapping times, even if they are difffeent frequencies they cancel each other out...

Think of this...

three teams on an alliance are driving down one side of the field. Team a issues a "ARM UP" via remote control by holding down the button they programmed with. team b during that time issues a comand to turn left, via remote control. It won't work..... The signals "collide"..... even though they are different frequencies......

What are the chances that robots are in the vicinity of each other while numerous commands ae being issued.... VERY HIGH
