Re: Programming IR Functions/Commands

There is a large section of the rules devote to this subject--I will do my best to summarize, but please read the rules.

You may send up to four distinct commands using the IR remote. You may not send commands involving code (like morse code) or in anyother way attempt to get more than four actions out of your four distinct commands. This is ideally to encourage people to create higher level command structures.

A sample set up might look like this.
Button 1--goes forward 2 seconds
Button 2--turns left 20 degrees
Button 3--turns right 20 degrees
Button 4--Reverse 2 seconds

You may not control your robot based off of a continually held down button.

Does that answer your question?
