Interestingly, I would claim that any light is a functional decoration as it aids in visibility of the robot. Wild Stang's robot was very visible with these lights on and that made it easier for the drivers to see where their robot was. However, I don't think I would call a team out on it as the added benefit is minimal at best.
That's what I was saying I was just stating some situations in which lights would be considered functional to answer apalrd's question, I'm confused as to what you're disagreeing with me on. I understand the intent of the rule, I was just stating that it would be very unlikely for someone to actually get called on it.
