The issue with some form of electronic base is its size. If you wanted to create a base that lights when it contacts another base, some type of electronic circuit would have to be mounted within the base. The circuit will have to be compact enough to allow the base to continue to move freely as it does now. Along with its compactness, the circuit would have to produce its own power. Transistors are as small as a pin head, but they still need other larger electronic components in order to work. The inside of your computer is a perfect example of what I am talking about. The processor has millions of transistors mounted on it. The power of those transistors is translated through the motherboard.

I think remote base manipulation and response of any kind will have to start at the board itself because it has enough space to accommodate the necessary electronics needed to control the game.
