Well, you should just 'cause their pretty nifty, but not just for this

only about an inch or so in average office lighting.  I'm interested to see
what comes out of the newer Pacific Neo-Tek development, particularly the
powered IR Springboard module.

With the software running on a Palm IIIc it has a range of at least 6 (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.palm)
