Why do you think that Hybrid Mode is "just with IR"?

The IR received has been provided to teams as an EXAMPLE technology. It is not a REQUIRED technology. There is nothing in the rules to prevent you from using other technologies to communicate your four commands to the robot during Hybrid Mode. If you have a preference for a different technology (that is within the rules, e.g. no lasers) then go ahead and use it!
