I would be a little bit careful with electronics, etc. There are requirements, and the field staff are allowed to enforce them. Here are some of the relevant ones:

-- <3lb total weight (and that includes the supports).
-- <3" thick (not a big deal, for most electronics).
-- Flexible material (the banner portion, that is)--wires flex, though.
-- And the big one: during matches, it must be fixed physically and visually. (There's also the standard "no distracting opponents" language, but that's kind of a side thing.) What I would take that to mean would be that if there was a flashing light, or a color changing light, particularly if it was distracting, the field staff would have a friendly chat after the match. (Though there's nothing about BETWEEN matches, displaying while not in a match, and any time not in a match. Important note.)


That being said, if you can do electronics within the requirements (er, "standard standards" ), why not?
