Q: Is it permitted to connect additional LEDs to the Team Color LED's, as long as the proper colors are used, i.e., strips of red or blue to increase team visibility?

A: No.
I think this is of you asking a very specific question, and then generalizing the answer. I beleive the reason they said no to you is not because you can't have extra LEDs on your robot, but because you can't hook those LEDs up to the same place as the team color LEDs. See this response also:

Q: Can LEDs be classified as "nonfunctional decoration"? If so, are they exempt from the $200 limit on electronic components. Furthermore, can an entire array of LEDs all run on the same circuit breaker?

A: Yes as long as they are truly decorative and not informative.
