Re: IR Remote Interference

the problem with IR, is that the further you get back from the intended target (our robots) the wider the spectrum band is. The year we were introduced to IR during a FIRST competition they suggested that we use a bic pen to focus the ir signal to the ball drop pedestals. This worked, only because we were seeking out the same signal. This year where we will be transmitting multiple signals at the same time, it won't matter how we focus/defuse/ or "up" our signal. We will still be intefering by having multiple signals at thesame time..
