very cool, if my team decides to track, where can we get LED's like this? I'm guessing we need green for green reflective tape?

hope to see you at the LV regional again,

this tape will reflect any color of light that shines on it. Pick a color and go to town. Pink is a great idea BTW!

very cool, now should we just use christmas lights and sauder our own led box or is there a specific place most teams are getting them from?

The LEDs are 12V 1142 replacement bulbs for RVs and boats. They're 12V / 40 mA and fit nicely into a 1/2" diameter PVC coupler. They're $6.99 at www.superbrightleds.com (http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=/other_bulbs.htm), P/N 1142-W12-WV (wide angle).

We covered them with pink vinyl.
