I missed the original post, so I hope I'm not repeating an already asked
question here.

I was thinking of using to motorized cars (mysteriously disappeared from
kids toy box) and fitting them with a PIC, IR LED(s) and IR sensors.  The
idea being that the cars would seek out each other and play a game of tag.

Question: What would be the optimum price/performance configuration.  My
thought was a couple of LEDs and sensors per car.  Perhaps 4 (front, rear,
sides).

Any comments and/or suggestions??

Thanks,

John

Hi Roman

I've done a fair amount of work with IR, and the best solution I've used is
a fresnel type lens and linear CCD array.
