PBP projects for R/C models

[Kenjones1935]

The WEB says that a standard hockey rink is 200' by 85' with curved corners on a 10' radius. Here in Fitchburg we have both indoor ice hockey rinks and outdoor street hockey rinks where the players use roller blade skates. The rinks are bounded by an approximately 4' high solid wooden wall.

The advantage here is speed is possible; 25mph +- for electric cars well over that for nitro powered gas engined cars.

I just found a WEB site extolling the 2D IR proximity sensor. Two potential problems - outdoors in bright sunlight and multiple cars. What do you think?

I did not read the specs for IR sensing. They are talking inches to a few feet. I need at least ten feet, probably more.
