IR Sensors- will they attack hot Chiaphuas?

Kevin,
Thanks for the pdf, I am forwarding it to our electrical guys right now. Good info in the data sheet, too!

For those of you who don't know, the auto-focus on your camera relies on an IR signal being bounced from the camera to the object and back. This tells the camera the focal point.

Will we see robots attempting to leave the field to attack the media? Or, has FIRST put the IR on a different frequency or spectrum (I don't know if this is possible)?

The IR Sensor is set to only detect the frequency emitted from the beacon. Similar to way your TV remote works, you won't get out side interference.
