In the RCX and the tower, the IR receiver is located close to the
transmitter. When the transmitter is running, the adjacent receiver's
Automatic Gain Control cirucit (AGC) becomes saturated, and sets the
receiver sensitivity to it's lowest possible value. The Mindstorms system
may understand this, and have built-in delays to allow the receiver to come
out of saturation before the response message is sent.
