To avoid all of the hassles of dealing with robot placement and line of sight of the IR while in Hybrid mode, is it possible to create an IR receiver that plugs into the OI (under its own power) so that the robo-coach can just send the IR commands to the OI instead of an IR receiver mounted on the robot and connected to the RC or are the ports on the OI totally locked out during autonomous mode???

Just a thought...
