By "required to use common protocals" I ment that the IR board we recieved in the kit will only recognise certain protocals, a protocal we have to transmit if we expect it to work. If we use IR, I would build my own remote and reciever and create my own protocal, start byte (team #) and data packet. As long as there are only 4 commands, I don't see a rule violation. Am I overlooking something? How do I filter out ambient light to recognise a data packet?
