It's not a problem unless you have evil compact fluorescent lights or some
other source of powerfull interference. Recall that the RCXs are designed
to talk amoung themselves when placed on moving robots.
If you want to make sure, put a red or white brick a few inches in front
of the RCXs. This will make a reasonable reflector.
Note: I've only got one evil compact fluorescent light. It must operate
near 40Khz. My other compact fluorescent lights don't cause a problem.
