i am to build two remote controlled toy sized cars, which both have inbfra-red receivers and transmitters
they are to be controlled by rf and the purpose of the infrared transmitter is for the two cars to be able to shoot at each other e.g. kind of like laser quest where people run around in vests with IR receivers shooting each other with infra red guns.
when one car detects a hit, it has to stop for 5 seconds before controlling it can resume. another option that could be added is (not necessarily) is that when the car has been hit three times, it stops completely and has to be switched off then on to start again (basically switching either car off then on resets their hit record).
problem is i have not experience in robot building and also i do not know how to interface the IR aspect to halt and stop control of the car.
can anyone provide me with any helpful information e.g. approaches i could take, web links, useful books, where i should start, etc.
Thank you very much for any help provided
