Hi

I'm working at a method to transmit to a RCX that is not directly
aligned with the IR-tower (say that the little robot with the RCX
mounted on it can be anywhere in the range of 2-3 meters from the
IR-transmitter).
I want to use only IR communication, no radio or cable or anything else.

Has anyone already found a good solution to it?
Is it possible to use something to reflect IR-light?

Thanx in advance
Daniele

On LOW power I've found the RCX hardly reads any signals at all. You must be
very close to the tower/other RCX to read it. (V Cool) On HIGH though I can
bounce the signal down the hall and it still reaches my bot.

I'm only using the RCX codes though 1-255
