Any signaling device is allowed, as long as it complies with <R65> and <R69>. (Well, obviously it has to comply with all the rules, but those in particular have to do with the signaling device.)

If you don't like the IR boards from the kit, you could use different IR boards, or something in visible light (CMUcam?) or something using sound (voice recognition and a robocoach who yells really loudly? Actually that's probably not allowed, because the robocoach is not a "device". But you could have 4 prerecorded sounds, and a device that plays each sound based on which button is pressed.)
