Turn left: 134
Whack ball: 423
Stop: 123

The signal that the remote sends when you push one button is coded already, somehow, isn't it? I see no rule preventing you from changing the coding scheme.

Might be a Q&A question...with emphasis that the intent of this method is to improve safety by reducing communication errors
You cant say with this method that one button is doing one thing, as they are always part of a larger message.
