Re: IR during teleopertated period?

This would definitely be a big problem if the Robocoach is in the remote station (remote as in distant, the GDC should have chosen a less ambiguous word), where they can't communicate with the drivers well.
This problem could also be fixed in software by making the radio control override the coding from the remote - so that the driver control always wins and they don't have to worry about fighting the will of the Robocoach.
