NJ Regional: IR Legality
At the NJ Regional today there were many good robots, however I did take notice to a team that seemed to drive their Robot using a custom made IR transmitter. I understand that this game was desgined for a ROBO Coach to make decisions for the robot based on ball position, position on the field, etc. But is a robot allowed to be entirely controlled by the Robo Coach during autnomous? It seems that this team stretched the rules to accomodate themselves and give them 15 extra seconds behind the controls of the robot. Any other thoughts on this?
