Re: is it legal to have LEDs on robot

Quote:
R61
No form of wireless communication shall be used to communicate to, from, or within the ROBOT, except those required per R55 and R60 (e.g. radio modems from previous FIRST competitions and Bluetooth devices are not permitted on the ROBOT during competition).
An IR receiver is still communicating to the robot, and would fail R61, unless it had an R73 exception. And if it is on the bot able to receive during a match, it would definitely fail.
