IR receiver reading data

[Jormono1]

The color distance sensor can be programmed to control a PF motor, It could be useful to go the other way and program a PF remote to send control signals to a powered up hub through the IR receiver. Also would be good if signals could be sent between PU hubs from one sending IR signals to another with an IR receiver.

My use case is a YouTube video where he had 2 PF RC tanks that used IR to "shoot" each-other on line of sight using IR, a friend an I would like to replicate this and the limiting factor here appears to be receiving IR signals. He is probably going to use PF, but I don't have any PF stuff.
