I think that will be plenty.

OK, this really is the easiest option in terms of the robot to "see" the competitor so I will work on this premise.
The goal would be to have:
1. a fairly flat disk, say 5mm high, that has a self-contained battery, flashing circuit and IR led.
2.These would be programmed to flash at different rates, to indicate different sides of the RC combatant.
3. These to be stuck on using double sided tape, as close as possible to the center of any side they are stuck on.
4. Not sure how many would be required but the aim is to reduce these or eliminate them as time goes on and CPU power increases to enable recognition in other ways, like highly reflective stickers in an arena bathed in IR light.
5. Initially, it could be 3 such devices (left, right and rear) but could be just 2 initially (left & right).
Will do some tests and report back.
Thanks for helping and being open to change - and to the challenge.
