Re: Who used IR this year?

Team 122 used the IR sensors quite successfully this year ... the IR sensors never really caused us problems, we were lined up every time, but from time to time our pots would malfunction, which is what we depended on to knock the ball down (we had quite an elaborate procedure due to space, actually). I don't know what future IR will have... but odds are it'll be a pretty big role in next year's game. So far as reflections, and FIRST needing to do more testing, I don't know about this. A lot, I think, depends on how you house the IR sensors, making sure internal reflection and viewing angle is minimized -- I don't think the original setup with the heat shrink will cut it. Though for more complicated things, I suppose, more precision will be required. Though we never had any problems, we also designed our system so it didn't have to be real precise.
