[FTC]: No IR Beacons Availabe... Boooooooo!!!

Ok, I understand that FTC has grown by leaps and bounds this year, but this is getting ridiculous. We have been waiting since December for HiTec to get more IR Beacons, with no hope now of getting one before our regional competition on 2/23. I know life isn't fair, but this sux... and isn't fair.

Your Bloomington neighbors do not have an IR Beacon either. Welcome to the club

Re: [FTC]: No IR Beacons Availabe... Boooooooo!!!

Substitue with TV remotes or the Wii Sensor Bar (not the remote but the sensor bar) and test your program. It's not a perfect replicate but it works.

Use a camera to identify the light sources on the Wii sensor bar (there's one on each side so tape over one side).

Good luck.

Re: [FTC]: No IR Beacons Availabe... Boooooooo!!!

A quick follow up... We found a TV remote control that is detected by our IR sensor, so we have been able to put together an autonomous routine. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!
