Hybrid Challenge-No Robot Left Behind

[Qbranch]

Hey... a note... I'm guessing I'm not the only one who's noticed that the IR remote reciever doesn't work at all if there's more than one remote in the general vicinity.

Is anyone else leaving the IR remote control as a last resort and going without?

Or has anyone figured out a way of making it function dependably?

For now, 1024 is improving it's SDAR (which was first debuted at our pit in Atlanta last year) or Sonar Direction and Ranging. Right now we have it to a point where we can take up to 3 simultaneous datastreams with a little over 1 update/sec, scan range 7', angle accuracy +/-2deg at Fast scan speed. Up to 9' range with +/-0.35deg accuracy.

We're going for a PID-based electronically geared path following routine with SDAR-based obstacle avoidance.

Okay, so i digressed a little. Videos to be posted (hopefully) in a couple weeks.
