Hey Roland,
Was the team claiming interference using IR receivers or just IR sensors? I’m trying to find out if boards like the popular VL53L0X emit pulses similar to the IR ball’s carrier frequency. Understanding that saturating the field in IR would cause issues even if filtering for ambient IR - I’m wondering if there may be some sort of compromise that IR VSELs could be allowed if mounted at a minimum height (noting that the walls now should now be higher), perpendicular to the field (which is the most likely how it would be used correct?), and be limited in number (e.g. four per team).
It would be great to see if any teams reading this could verify if there are conditions in which lidar can be used and unlikely interfere with other teams detecting the ball.
Thanks,
Mike
