Re: Who thinks the IR board's operational characteristics leave much to be desired?

Our IR board stopped working shortly after being mounted on our robot. I figured it was having the brown-out problem so we tried to reprogram it with no success. Reading the device revealled a bunch of emptyness. Then I checked the regulator and it was outputting 6 volts. I don't know if that wrecked the PIC or not, but it wouldn't work. The team decided that the IR isn't worth the effort due to the high probability of IR interference during the matches. We are going with an alternative means of communication.
