Range on the IR board?

[da_dove]

To the team claimed 60 ft range on the IR board, can you post the brand of remote control used?

My team 2528 bought a generic GE remote control, and we are getting marginal reception at 30 ft. The overhead fluorescent light (normally found in school rooms) also played a big role in affecting the IR reception.

I wonder if the more expensive universal remote control has better range...

Thanks,
