Thumbs up Quick quality critique

Yes, the optical sensors are quite good this year. Obviously from the demonstration during the main playing field presentation was to generate excitement about these sensors.

However, by running a few simple tests you can figure out how easily they can be distracted.

For instance, if some one were to use some sort of sandcasted mirror, and buffed it to a highly reflective shine. If then these mirrors were mounted on a robot in several places it would cause havoc with all optical sensors being used, by either side.

Also we don't know if any other form of red light will interfere, being from small LEDs say on some random person's yo-yo going up and down on the side of the field, or just simply some other form of red filtered light emitter.

Just some things to think about.

*NOTE: Red filtered and inferred lights have quite interesting affects especially in low light situations. Try it, just don't lose what ever the lights are attached to.*
