Illegal?

Excellent suggestion on the LED light bars. Our secret plan this year... if we had time... was to do a Canadian Flag in IR Leds.

No one would see it until it showed up in photos and on the big screen.

(If you want to see what I'm talking about, use your camera phone/digital camera/video camera to take a look at the LED on the IR remote control for your TV when you hold down a button on the remote. Its pretty cool...)

We ran into reality when we couldn't find a good source for cheap IR LED's, though. So if you know a good place to get 1,000 or so IR LEDs for less than 10 cents each, let me know.

P.S. This would not be likely to jam either the camera (at least not any more than the very bright lights that form part of the field set up, or the red and blue lights over the player stations) or other IR sensors, which tend to be tightly focussed and/or modulated.
