the rules state you cant pull any power out of the operator interface, and I think there must be some reasons behind that.
last year we used 4 superbright LEDs on a heads up display, so the operator could see status signals on certain functions on the Bot (arm all the way up, all the way down, that type of thing)
they were connected only to the LED outputs on one of the joystick ports, and we had problems with our link kicking off during the matches, and with the OI reseting itself.
We disconnected the 4 LEDs and the problems stopped.
Might have been a coincidence - we never got to the bottom of it.
