[FTC]: IR Block for Block Party

[TheThings5926]

My team (The Things 5926) are looking at using an IR sensor to drop a block in the basket to score a IR score for the block in autonomous.

What I want to do is drive for a set amount of time, look to see a value from IR sensor, move arm to drop block, all while driving the set mount of time.

I read online that I could tape over the sensor with electrical tape so that I would only get a reading if the sensor is right at the beacon.

Is this idea feasible?


Thanks,

Matt, The Things 5926
