What are you using to power the blue LEDs?
And allow me to clear a few things up. Thanks for the support all, this was built by students. Three of us, to be exact. Our Job, chassis, is done, so we decided to do a little something extra.

As for the Cadillac emblems, yes they are readily available. Brendan, Mike, and I went our and shaved a couple of escalades. GM rips these (and many many others) trucks apart, re-designs, and throws most of it away. So, we can basically take whatever we need to make the robot look really cool. If it is in the scrap bins.

As for the specifics on the board, the dimensions are as follows: 48”x9”x2.5”. It is made out of two plates of 1/8” aluminum, and supports of 1” stock T6 square tubing. The side panels are, in fact, diamond-plate aluminum. The grill is round aluminum stock. There’s no chrome.

As for the blue neons and LED bars, they are powered by a bosch battery pack (a drill housing).

I thank everyone, once again, for their comments and support. Can’t wait to see what everyone has come up with!
