I figured it was something along those lines.

if you could get this to light up red and blue, with red and blue transparent bumpers, this would be the coolest thing

I'm with Al, follow the rules. But the rules don't say that you can't have a third pair. With a quick change you can rock those LED bumpers everywhere else!!

Nice design an implementation

Programmatically change bumper colors :D. Maybe even use this to trick other robots :D

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

We did make actual bumpers with the correct pool noodle lengths and no wires in them.

We will use the light up bumpers for demonstrations and stuff like that.

Maybe in the future, LED bumpers will be allowed? We hope so.

What if they didn't put anything into the pool noodles?

Very nice. I wish we had thought of that. Sure to be popular at any competition.

Would LEDs used as part of the attachment system be legal? :rolleyes:

That's what I was wondering--they did say that they purchased them with the LEDs inside.

This sounds an awful lot like a Q&A question...
