I had the power on the PWM servo power 7.2 volts on the VEX as spec'd, but then I decided to try it on the I/O side as you see in the pictures. There is only 5V on that side of the VEX controller. So the IR board works at 5volts....dog gone it...the cat's out of the bag....I didn't move the wires when I took the picture....

I have logged in feet the signal degrading factor using 5 volts, verses 7.2 volts. It's about 0.37 times factor.
