How was this electrical set up working for you?
Am I correct in assuming, you are running the LEDs at 12V, off a spike, which is plugged into the regular (non-regulated) wago terminals of the Power Distro Board.
Was curious to see how well this was working for you and if your LED voltage dropped out during use of the Robot. If no regulator is inline, at the points when you drive, the voltage to your light rings would drop and loose intensity, which would reduce lumens, and reduce the quality of returned light from the retro-reflective tape.
