I tried, but I've reached the limit of my ability and patience (I'm not sure
which ran out first).
This much I know: the Spybot can do proximity detection if what it is detecting
is a well-defined IR-emitting object such as a Spybot controller or another
Spybot.
This I don't know: can it detect passive objects, such as walls and cats, using
its IR detectors?
Try as I might, I couldn't find decipherable reference to the IR detectors in
the spybot .h files. Is there another place I should have looked?
Thanks to Dave Baum, John Hansen, Mark Ferris, and André Koopman for their work
so far! :)

| Thanks for the reply, André. I've read that the IR emitters are "low-power". Does this mean the red LED on Spybot would have a longer range than the IR emitters if used in proximity detection? Since the LED is recessed, I guess is would have a (...) (22 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

| (...) The Spybot hardware itself appears capable of simple proximity detection. Looking at outputs from the IR detector modules on an oscilloscope, I can see the Spybot's own pings. This includes the absence/presence of range sensing/ID bits due to (...) (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
