Re: Cannot Have Decorative Lights While Disabled?
Last year we had no issues running our underglow lights while the robot was disabled. The lights were wired through a limit switch that received power from the PD board. The electrical inspection went without a hitch.
Seeing as the wording was similar last year, I think that you would be okay. It really comes down to the judges at the event. The rule book seems to disallow it, but I doubt that the judges would have issues with it as long as everything is done neatly (and safely) and you explain it to them.
Also, have a backup plan, like a spare spike in case if the judges rule against you.
