Re: Head's up Robocoaches

As far as I know, the "TV-B-GONEs" just send the turn-off code for many different models of TVs so eventually the one you are pointing it at will turn off. The only way I could see this as breaking the rules is that it sends more than 4 commands (albeit with only one button) but they don't "jam"the infrared spectrum.

This does bring up an interesting issue I was thinking about that by the sounds of it, the IR receiver only works with so many brands of remote controls so if two teams were using the same button, wouldn't they inadvertently interfere with the other team's robot?
