Our Programmer, Peter(Petzer) thought of the idea, but of course I kinda feel a bit more comfortable with not taping, but if we have to, then we will

Why not wire into the pneumatics breakout and write code to use the driver station to control the lights? If the lights are anything like the one we use, RG&B have a common positive and individual grounds for RG&B. Grounding these is what determines color and varying the voltage determines intensity. It may be a better alternative, potentially lighter weight (provided you have pneumatics with 4 open channels on the card) and it is completely legal. All your colors can be controlled via toggles on the driver station and IIRC you can read which alliance you are (Red or Blue) from the DSC and code will automatically change to the alliance color at the start of the match.
