Ambitious Paintball Project

I would GREATLY appreciate any help or guidance for this project.

The basic idea behind this is to have 3 bases that can be captured, one at a time, and randomly chosen.
I have written out the logic of this system. It looks like some sort of programming language but Im sure it can be translated onto a PCB of some kind.

I am hoping to use two way radios as the communication devices between the stations like **broken link removed**

STATION 1: START

IF signal received
then choose random number (1,2,3)
IF 1 then activate capture process on STATION 1
IF 2 then send signal to STATION 2 (using two way radio)
IF 3 then send signal to STATION 3 (using second set of two way radio)

STATION 1 CAPTURE PROCESS:
IF 1
then CAPTURE PROCESS START
then LIGHT SETTING 1 (blink)

IF EXECUTE OFF (meaning no one has captured it yet)
then standby
IF EXECUTE ON (meaning someone has HIT the execute button)
then LIGHT SETTING 2 (solid)
then AUDIO signal ON
then 'countdowntimer' START

IF 'countdowntimer' = 0
then LIGHT SETTING 0 (off)
then AUDIO signal OFF
then add score to current TEAM

CAPTURE PROCESS END/

STATION 2 AND 3 CAPTURE PROCESS:

IF receive signal
then CAPTURE PROCESS START
then LIGHT SETTING 1 (blink)

IF EXECUTE OFF
then standby
IF EXECUTE ON
then LIGHT SETTING 2 (solid)
then AUDIO signal ON
then 'countdowntimer' START

IF 'countdowntimer' = 0
then LIGHT SETTING 0 (off)
then AUDIO signal OFF
then add score to current TEAM
then send signal to STATION 1

CAPTURE PROCESS END/


If anyone knows of ready made components that can be used for ANY part of this I would be forever in your debt!

Cheers
-Mike
