It could also involve the camera, as previously mentioned, where the game pieces (or the IR emitter where the game pieces are located) are out of the drivers line of sight, and thus rely on the camera to obtain game pieces.

Just my 2 cents.
Out of all the posts so far in this thread, you may have actually found something that could be applicable in the game design from this hint. If it is true that fish can only see certain wavelengths of light, someone figure out what wavelengths... You know FIRST is going to want to show off the capabilities of its new control system this year, and that fancy new camera has some new tricks it can do. If someone more familiar with the new camera could let us know what it capabilities are (multiple colour tracking??), we could make a better guess on how it could be applied to a game.
