Re: Super IR

Andy,
My concern from the begining is not how strong signals might override yours but how are teams going to coordinate which command set they use with other teams. If teams are using the same button sequences using the same remote, there will be chaos during the hybrid mode.
Ham radio operators have adopted defacto standards for operating different modes and different frequencies. Maybe we need to make a plan so all teams know what to train their remote for when entering the field. i.e. Blue Team 1 uses the top set of four buttons. Blue Team 2 uses the next buttons down on the remote, etc. That will produce less confusion on the field for those teams that use remotes.
