Re: Super IR

We did a test on our robot at our warehouse, where we had a roomba remote and a modded remote that our robot was programmed to work with.

We were able to get a signal up to 70 feet with the modded remote, but as soon as we started firing the other remote, even if it wasnt in the general direction of the robot, it stopped reliably receiving the signal.

my suggestion would be to create a limiter so your robot can only see a small angle of signals, therefore reducing confusion.
