Regardless of what the rules say, it's definitely in your best interest to make sure the LEDs on the OI are visible. If you're having a problem with your control system, you really want Innovation First to be able to quickly inspect your OI to see where the problem is. Plus, if you start having problems during a match, the first thing they'll do is look at the LEDs on the OI and RC (which is why you're supposed to mount your RC so the LEDs are visible from some angle). If it's during a match and you're having problems and IFI can't see your OI, they may not be able to do as much to help you fix it quickly.
