Re: pic: Team 25 IR Goggles

These are pretty cool, but I don't see an advantage in the matches.

Camera sensors with proper IR filters can see IR and they make impressive videos. However, it is impossible to make a video of what the human eye actually perceives.


You will not see a beam of light from the LED. They are low power and disperse fairly quickly. You may see that someone has sent an IR command if you are in line-of-sight of the remote.

If one was curious of the science behind this field of optics, go for it. To the rest thinking it will be allowed in the matches, save your money. Spend your time and resources on improving your robot performance.
