tolerance into any communications systems you plan to use."
So, unless you're doing something stupid with IR that everyone would think is
dumb (and would get you tossed out due to consensus) ie, something like sending
"power off" codes to RCXes, Spybot communications is fair I think if it doesn't
disrupt RCXes in a stupid fashion.
Does it send/receive IR message numbers like the RCX does?
