Arduino Infrared Module Kit As Table Top Edge Sensor?

in the video below i think the guy is using the arduino infrared module kit (link to ebay item below too)

i wanted to see if anyone here know if we can use this kit as edge detection. so my wall-e doesn't fall of the table.

in the video it shows that if even one sensor (either the transmitter or receiver ) go off the table the bot stops and reverses....

Can i assume the 2 sensors are always communicating the same voltage/value? and once that value changes (table is no longer there) the scrip command is to back up?

thanks in advance

No, you can't hook up a microphone directly to the EZ-B, you need a wireless microphone that is connected to your PC blush

@hoolagen1, Generally you don't want a mic in the robot because the robot is too loud. DJ recomends using the computer mic or table top mic. I use the one on my web cam. Works great!
