Title: Penguin Robot IR Jammer (Menu Driven) PJM
Code Name: penguin_jammer.bpx
Purpose: Penguin blocks and jams the IR signal of other robots
to blind them in battle


Little Penguin Robot is preparing to fight!
It really means business and no other robots dare cross
its path!

Penguin will blind any robot in its path! The technique
works with robots that have IR vision on approximately the same
frequency.

Purely a defensive move, Penguin Robot sends out jamming infrared
to continuously block the IR signal of other robots resulting in
their blindness, confusion, and retreat in battle.

When other robots are looking for reflected IR from
left and right directions, Penguin's IR flood will force the
robot opponent to "obstacle avoidance," thus turning out of the way
or taking a coward's retreat by backing up.

' OVERVIEW
' --------
' This program sends out a beam flood of infrared light and
' modulates both left and right IR emitters at approximately the
' same time.

' FUNCTION
' --------
' Take Penguin into battle with other robots. In this demo program,
' Penguin Robot IR Jammer will take both left and right infrared
' emitters and turn both on for the selected amount of time entered
' on the debug screen menu. This will create an interval flood with
' 38 Khz infrared light, blinding any robot in Penguin's path
' operating on a similar frequency.

' ROBO-ONE CONTESTS
' -----------------
' Probably not destined for Robo-One contests yet, Penguin bot can
' be a fierce fighter. As seen in other code, the biped has full
' kicking capability (see Right Kick and Left Kick subroutines in
' Wireless Soccer) and can dodge from left to right and visa versa
' (see "Toddle" subroutine in Happy Feet, and see "Balance" subroutine
' in Motion Control Operating System), making a worthy opponent. Now
' add this powerful technique to blind other robots and Penguin will
' have a complete defensive repertoire.
