Can I ask a simple question? How BRIGHT is this LED assembly that would destroy the LEDs over the period of a match? The retro-reflective tape doesn't require all that much illumination and I'm now worried about a proverbial "light cannon" (as I've heard robot mounted flashlights called recently) shining into the opposing drive teams eyes. Remember that you aren't just on level ground but tilted if you are crossing the defenses at all.
Just curious is all...
