Re: IR during teleopertated period?

The rules states pretty clearly that you can, but you have to think about a few things: IR range is limited and subject to interference, so the radio control will always be more dependable; not only that, but interactive control from the driver station will always beat out whatever automated actions you have programmed in the robot, simply because it is more flexible (you can actually effectively counter defense). So I don't think that the IR will be very useful for controlling the robot during the Teleoperated Period.
Of course, I do have an idea about how it could be used, but it's a secret. . .
