So does this mean carrier pigeons are a valid form of communicating with your spy?
Something that uses light (or IR) to communicate is technically a "photonic" device, and not an "electronic" device.

One could argue that an electronic device that converts a non-electronic signal is an electronic device. However, that would mean the Driver Station is an Electronic Device because it receives communications from the robot, which is outside the Castle. Or if there is a student that wears a hearing aid ...
