2) Back in 2004, I developed the infrared beacon system for FIRST. With a little bit of code and a $1 Vishay IR sensor, you could turn your robot controller into the IR receiver. The 2004 code and documentation can be found here. Of course, if teams want to standardize on one protocol, I'd be happy to provide some sample code.

Even if we don't use code like this for this years competition, I would love to put together a IR controlled Vex project. Please, feel free to build and/or modify code to make a controller into an IR receiver, I'm certain I can port it to Vex.
I will take a look at you 2004 code and see what I can come up with based on what you already have.
