Linking remote control hardware to application

547 512MB
Please help - how do i solve this?
I have a timing application for running and cycling.

A client want me to add on a feature for school track athletics.
Currently they have 8 persons sitting at the finish line, each with a stopwatch in hand.
He wants each of the 8 to have a device with a button, that will add the "finish time" in my application with the press of this button, as the athletes cross the line..

In other words, firing a button in the application using remote control hardware.
I know i won't get this hardware in South Africa.
Has anybody done this before?

In my experience this is normally done using a professional timing system which can be expensive. I did a little google searching and the only thing I found that you might be interested in is this.
