+Committee will provide each team with a Communication Module. This allow for 
+easier co-ordination of games and referee control of robots during matches. Each
+team will be expected to interface with this module using a single 2.54mm GPIO
+pin at present to start and stop the robots. The Soccer League Committee plans 
+on extending this to using UART or I²C for more complex applications in future
+years. Please see the GitHub page for more information on the module:
