. Anyone who has tried to use the LEGO Power Functions system outdoors knows that the range is quite limited due to interference of the infrared signal (sunlight and lack of objects to bounce off of). I experimented with the idea of using a remote control extender designed for use in entertainment centers. By transmitting RF signals and then re-transmitting the IR signal at the receiver to the PF receiver, it eliminates any potential range issue (up 150 feet).

The one I chose to use based on how it operated was the NextGen Remote Control Extender Genius (my video on it is here youtube.com/watch?v=9ij_Fa7jtOY )
