We used two separate LED strips in each Toro stick, one red and one blue. We hooked their grounds together and plugged the positive ends into one Spike H-Bridge Relay. We programmed it in LabView so that when we aren't in range, power is delivered to M- and when we are in range, power is given to M+. We plugged it into to our digital sidecar in a relay slot.
