IR Signaling

[FRC2423]

Re: <R65>

We understand that only 4 buttons on a remote signaling device are permitted, only 1 single input is permitted at one time, and only 4 messages are allowed.

Here are a few questions:

1. Does this preclude using a sequenced signaling system? What I mean is: can I use a 2 (or more) button sequence to create (effect) a single message, where the buttons are pressed sequentially rather than simultaneously? For example, can I press "3", release, then press "4" in order to have the "go forward" message transmitted to the robot.

2. Can the software contain multiple actions, such that subsequent transmission of the same key message from the remote will cause different behaviors at different times? In other words, first press of the "UP" key on the remote causes the bot to go forward. The next press of the "UP" key causes the effector arm to raise and grab a ball. Is this permitted?

Thanks.
