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?
Did everyone completely ignore the five-minute long demonstration during the kick-off broadcast??? Three fully functional, rules-compliant, effective methods for communicating with the robots were put right in front of you. And they are far from the only ways to accomplish the task. IR is certainly not the only way to utilize the ability to have the Robocoach send signals. You just have to think about the alternatives.
