IR during teleopertated period?

[Nightfall831]

communication would definately be an issue...i found that out recently at a convention we took our robot to...i decided to sit on our bot while i drove it with my remote and the IR board....it was great untill our driver decided he wanted to drive from across the very large room...lets just say i got real friendly with the circuit breaker...

another problem our team has is that if the IR board recieves a command, it locks out the joysticks, so the actual driver loses control of the robot...

i actually just thought of a way to fix that, but god only knows if it will work....programming sucks...

an interesting thought i saw somewhere else was to have the robocoach send signals to the board to send signals to the driver if he cant see, but that seems like a waste of the limited number of commands we have.

Unless you went completely autonomous. But who wants to do that when we've got a brand new toy?

Exactly i just see it being an annoyance to the driver more than an assistance...
