    The problem is, even if you DO use two different remotes, if both people try to control their robot at the same time, the IR-light from both remotes will "clash", and the robots will get 'noise'.

    I don't know of a solution for this, but ran into it when I bought my second "Build Your Own Robot" TAB kit, which used the BS2 and an IR-Remote for control.

    Plus, if people are filming with video cameras, its possible the IR focusing could cause confusion.
