Mounting the IR board
How have you all been mounting your IR boards on the robot? We are unsure of how/where to mount ours and would like some advice. Thanks so much!!

Re: Mounting the IR board
You can pretty much mount it anywhere. Just make sure that it can get the signal from the remote.

Re: Mounting the IR board
we mounted it on some insulating foam and bolted it to the robot and added some protections around it.

we mounted it safely on the electronics board within our robot the soldered on some extension cables and put the sensor at the highest point of our bot... it seems to work very well
