To clear up a few things. The LEDs are only visible from one side of the robot. While they are functional during the match they are non-functional until disabled. As the string is programmable, it runs a random "Wildstang" pattern until called upon for tube ID to the human player. This was a late season addition and anyone who watched it play would have seen that the robot rarely picks up from the human player.
Now while this can be called a 'decoration' it is classed a custom circuit. As such, it must conform to those rules. It is powered through a regulation breaker with regulation wiring. The interface works through intended digital outputs through the Crio and sidecar.
