 +<li><p>Are you using an electrical slipring to achieve 360* turret rotation? These devices are electrically noisy and if you run the IR wires through them your model will falsely interpret this noise as an IR hit. Likewise the IR signal you send out when firing the cannon may become garbled when traveling through the slipring, and you may have difficulty hitting opponents. For this reason if you wish to implement IR functionality in your model you should not use slipring systems but instead wire the IR components directly. Try also to keep the IR reception wires especially away from other noisy signal lines, such as the wires which power the turret rotation and elevation motors, or any airsoft, mechanical or servo recoil wires.</p></li>
