Re: Success with IR remotes in Week #1?
We use IR to tell our robot where our trackball is. The robot then follows a predetermined trajectory.
IR worked well for us and we experienced no interference, even when partnered with other teams also using IR.
We lost the ability to control the robot using IR about 15' away from the player station, I'd guess. We have an abort function that did not work during competition, but worked fine in our lab. Our robocoach was positioned next to our player's station.
We experienced a power failure mid-match during the elimination rounds that, it seems, wiped out the IR board's learned signals. After that round, our IR remote was unable to signal the robot and our hybrid mode no longer worked. Ultimately, we were eliminated as a result. (Sorry 100 and 2550. Really.)
