Re: Minibot Standardization (FRC 2011: Logomotion)

Quick question, one to (perhaps) get people thinking:

Are you allowed to use an IR Receiver with a minibot?
(does this qualify? http://unlimited.syraweb.org/NewFTCkits.htm)

How easy is it to distribute a software module, an IR Led and some wire, and perhaps a button to teams at your regional? Will that be too much weight on their robot? How difficult will that be to install on a generic robot?


That's probably the best way I can think of to get it going. Let me know what you think.
