Re: Danger in Disconnected IR Receiver

knowing about all the IR jamming etc, i'm almost thinking about not even using IR, but instead doing some kind of deak-reckoning autonomous code, where the IR only modifies what it does. Teams (IMHO) who are thinking of doing teleoperated-like handling with a TV remote should seriously reconsider. I can only imagine the damage some teams will cause because of a robot going out of control because another robocoach is on the same frequency and their robot picks it up....
