Re: INFRARED HELP...PLEASE HELP
Bharat Nain - Our IR board is mounted directly on our flag pole, so I do believe that this is a significant problem. We were able to successfully test remotes up to about 30 feet in the arena while we were still in our pit. Once on the field we were not able to receive commands shortly after the robot left its starting location. We are planning on moving the IR sensor or flag pole at our next regional.
