The idea is to hang the panels in the pits, and surround them by RGB LEDs that lit up red or blue depending on the alliance color.
P.S. Would it be legal using a 3G or 4G connection within the pits? The rules only refer to the arena, but better safe than sorry!

Teams may not set up their own 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2.4GHz or 5GHz) wireless communication (e.g. access points or ad-hoc networks) in the venue.
A wireless hot spot created by a cellular device is considered an access point.

However if you tether to your phone via a usb cable, you maybe ok. As for WEB API, I don't believe there is one for people to use.
