Re: is it legal to have LEDs on robot

Bryan,
R61 is very specific and so you must have a written waiver from HQ to use any form of wireless. Most teams, mine included, simply use a few digital outputs or the I2C buss to communicate with the onboard LEDs. If someone else figures out what you are doing, and finding a similar remote control, they start to adjust your lighting, you might not have any control over the LEDs.
