Re: more than 4 ir controls?

Sadly, it would be a violation of the rules.

Quote:
<R65> SIGNALING DEVICES shall be designed to communicate signals from the ROBOCOACH to the ROBOT. SIGNALING DEVICES are excluded from Rule <R64>. SIGNALING DEVICES shall:

...

- be able to switch between no more than four states or conditions (i.e. send no more than four messages)

- be operated through only a single input at any given time (e.g. may not be operated by depressing two buttons at one time)

- not use changes in signal states to encode or transmit larger messages (e.g. Morse code)
