I wouldn't think it would be that bad. The arduino can in reality take up to a 20V input, so accepting an unregulated battery shouldn't be too much of an issue. Just preprogram the Arduino with certain states to control the neopixels, then let the cRio/roboRio tell the Arduino which state to be in.
