No restrictions is a bit of an overstatement. If I understand what a Sonalert is (a buzzer of some sort, right?) FIRST might have a little trouble with that. We can't use lighted switches, but we can pull +5V off of the joystick ports to drive LEDs. Strange, but them's the rules.

I would suggest that you post the question on the Yahoo question site. Just to make sure.

An alternative is to modify the Dashboard program and bring up a laptop. You have more latitude with what you do that way. You can make the laptop buzz or flash red on the screen. With all of the noise on stage, I think visual cues are more effective.
