Yes, your new page is good and what we need. But I immediately have a
question:
It seems there are two pairs of canted receptors, two at front, and two at
about mid-board. This implies there is some inherent directional sensing?
I assume at least one of these is IR, but what are the others? Or are they
all just a thing to allow the system to ensure it gets the controller IR?

Double the distance from source to sensor and the signal is reduced by a (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
