I think that rule about noisemakers had to do with freebies given away to spectators, so maybe sirens on the bot would be okay. After all, tehre was that team last year with the boom box stereo system on their cart - that was pretty cool...and loud. Mmmmm, loud....sirens....noise....
If you're trying to use it as a distraction, give up now. It's far too loud in the stadiums to hear anything like that.

Also:
-The spinning red light is gone this year...thankfully.
-Using a siren to distract your opponents conflicts with the ideals of Gracious Professionalism. If you play to win, fine...just don't play dirty or *gasp* cheat.
