Re: Are we allowed to reflect LEDs for tracking purposes?

I can't see why not. We tried something similar with IR, but found that unless we were at pretty close to 90 degrees to the diamond plate that it reflected too much of the light away from us, and not enough back to us.

Mind you, in the right application that could be a benefit... not a setback.

So long as your lights do NOT interfere with the teams tracking the green light, and are not INTENDED to interfere with other teams sensors, then you are pretty much good to go.

Jason
