Yes. Anything designed for automotive use, such as the LED strips, is designed to handle essentially the same ranges of over/under voltage around 12V as you'll find on an FRC robot. The big thing to watch out for in automotive electrical components is anything with a construction than connects the chassis to the negative lead of the power supply. And illegal motors, of course.
