Come on Mr. Bill.
You have seen some of the things first has done in the past. Maybe they forgot that the 3 pin connector for a digital input has +5 volts on one of the pins. So, why connect to and draw power from the breaker panel to operate this board?

Did they need a 5 volt regulator on the board and on the robot controller?

I think you are looking at only half of the system here. for IR communication, the robot will have a transmitter. the IR receiver is the half that is placed on the field. we can use any old handheld remote for now. but we will have something else in the kit of parts.

We've been known to use a battery that way as well. Why waste that much weight and compensate for it elsewhere?

I really doubt FIRST would "forget" +5vdc is there. But, then again, the GTS from the 2005 KOP required +12vdc. as well, and it had to come from the battery. Besides, here are some quotes from the Users Guide:
Quote:
"Assuming a 12VDC supply,"
and
Quote:
"Voltage should be in the range 7-15 volts
DC. Your power supply will have to be independent, for example, a 6 x AA
battery pack, 9V battery, 12V battery....."
So, if the robot will have the transmitter, then why manufacture one receiver board, at a minimum, per team and also spend the money and manpower on shipping?

As for a transmitter being in the KOP, I definitely agree, that is a possibility!

I guess all this back and forth is fine for now. We both will know for sure come Kick Off.
