I think you have made a great desciption of your version of the robot and that will be enough to inspire others to try the same. If you make a video of your robot then we would be happy to post a link to it! Wow, sounds great!

The Color of the ball is #14 (light yellow) for the HiTechnic Color Sensor V2. The HiTechnic IR-Receiver is on the same place as the HiTechnic IR Seeker of your HockeyBot. The HiTechnic Color Sensor V2 is on the same place as the Ultrasonic Sensor of your HockeyBot. Can you build that HockeyBot like mine. and make a video and publish it on HiTechnic.

For one thing the ball consists of multiple IR LEDs each one making a cone of IR light. Only beyond a certain distance do the cones overlap. Also, when the sensor is very close to the ball, the IR is so bright that the sensor elements get overwhelmed and multiple elements get significant IR readings. The sensor should be mounted so that it does not get too close to the IR ball. This is not unexpected. For one thing the ball consists of multiple IR LEDs each one making a cone of IR light.

Is it possible that there is some kind time or intensitiveness adjustment causes some reading delay in the driver code??? problem with the IR ball being very close to IR sensor:

Do I have t use an extra US or light sensor to view to check when the ball gets very close?
