a versatile tool primarily used in robotics education and competitions. Here’s what it’s designed for and how you can use it effectively:
1. Robot Soccer / RoboCup Jr & WRO Competitions
Designed for autonomous robot soccer—teams program EV3 or NXT robots to track and interact with the IR ball, mimicking soccer-style play in robotics competitions.

2. IR Beacon / Tracking Exercises
Acts as a beacon that emits pulsed IR signals (unmodulated and at 600 Hz or 1200 Hz), detected by IR seeker sensors up to ~5 m away—even in bright environments.
Educational & Classroom Activities
Great for teaching programming, sensor calibration, and autonomous navigation:
Object tracking: Robots learn to find and follow the ball using IR seeker sensors.
Sensor calibration: Students practice adjusting IR sensor settings to reliably detect and home in on the ball.
Robot navigation challenges: Create maze or pursuit scenarios based on the ball’s position.
