What type of infrared beam would be best? This is my schools first year competing and we need some insight.
Try raw IR diode. amazon: SUNKEE 10pcs 5mm 940nm LEDs infrared emitter and IR receiver diode 5pairs diodes.teamblueorange wrote:What type of infrared beam would be best? This is my schools first year competing and we need some insight.
So I looked into this item and does it not need to be programmed with an Arduino? Every time I find something, I realize it is an extension to an Arduino kit. If not, how would I assemble this? Would it almost be like completing a circuit?jinhusong wrote:Try raw IR diode. amazon: SUNKEE 10pcs 5mm 940nm LEDs infrared emitter and IR receiver diode 5pairs diodes.teamblueorange wrote:What type of infrared beam would be best?

Theres nothing directly against them in the rules, and I've seen some teams use them. Just make sure you are not using arduinos, or anything else that is against the rules and you should be fine.teamblueorange wrote:Are you allowed to use breadboards?
They something like this perhaps?bigboi312 wrote:So I looked into this item and does it not need to be programmed with an Arduino?

I thought the Lego Spybot was programmable - the motor block has a computer that you can program a bit like mindstorms, doesn't it? Perhaps you'll get lucky with the ES at state, but I think anyone who knew what Spybots were would rule it illegal.ComputerGeek586 wrote:Would anyone consider using a Lego Spybot for the IR part where the remote button will be pressed and the motor on the spybot will pull a string to lift the final action as a programmable component? I used it at the last invite and the supervisor said he didn't consider it programmable and didn't make me take it off. I just wanted to double check here before regionals.
