(...) Well, I don't want to claim to be an expert, but I'll tell you what I've done. I have a couple remotes that I've been using for over a year, and I haven't had problems with them. One not only uses the rotation sensors, but also uses the motors (...) (18 years ago, 29-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hi all, I am trying to get some middle school kids playing a bit with the robosoccer idea. I don't want to frustrate them with the fluctuating IR ball.
