If you have a preference for a different technology (that is within the rules, e.g. no lasers) then go ahead and use it!

Ummm...
That just opened up a whole new can of worms.
I suddenly feel overwhelmed this year just from that one simple post. lol
I guess that's because I don't have an "electrical background" per-say, but up until that point I was semi-confident of my robotics knowledge being involved with this program for what is my 8th year this year.
With that said, I won't ask you specifically Dave even though you seem to have some inside knowledge on the issue, but more towards the CD community...
What are some other forms of remote communication (AKA: Signaling device) we are allowed by the rules to use this year other than IR types?
