I would be very careful with the R68 blue box. Very, VERY careful.

Devices that employ signals in the visual spectrum (e.g. cameras) and non-RF sensors that don’t receive human-originated commands (e.g. “beam break” sensors or IR sensors on the ROBOT used to detect FIELD elements) aren’t wireless communication devices and thus R68 doesn’t apply.

That bold is the part that may give you trouble. By having the driver push a button to turn on the LEDs, the command originates from a human. In essence, you're using the robot as a wireless relay station to the Pilot.
I would ask this in Q&A. If the GDC approves this usage, print and bring the Q&A to your event.
