Being able to block all IR but your own for the initial command ... priceless |
I'm not sure this is necessary though. If you're only going to send an initial command, simply mounting the IR on the back of the 'bot and having your robocoach stand at the station behind it would be sufficient. At that point, you're only competing with alliance partners for signalling, so you can just tell them "hey, I just have one signal to send". Plus it would give you a bit more flexibility to signal it once it has moved. A TP tube over the sensor would make it so directional you'd ONLY be able to signal at the beginning.
