Doug,

Thanks for the response about the IR remote and how it works. I wonder if all remotes work that same way?? Should we be recommending a certain one that works a certain way, or will everyones code work with any IR remote??

Something else to consider, the robo-coach may want to delay pushing the button - long enough to be sure the alliance partners have gotten past the over pass, or at least are not going to be in your way to knock the ball off.

If the autonomous program is used without the IR, then simply build in a delay in the autonomous to simulate waiting a few seconds.

With the idea that everyone is going to move, now we must consider who goes first, second, third - in order to make sure we don't drive into each others way. I don't expect everyone to move at the same rate or even straight.

I've asked our guys to build a delay into our code that will allow the speed bots to go first - then we'll go (assuming we have the responsibility of knocking our ball off our overpass).

If we aren't responsible for knocking the ball down, we will simply let the autonomous code "go straight , turn left code run without an IR signal needed.
