Our drivers were generally pretty cooperative regarding plugging and unplugging the LEDs. At the end of the match when they had to retrieve the robot, they would just pull the clips off their hats and throw them on the control station. We stuck with the idea all year, but we did have to troubleshoot the code and some of the mechanical stuff when we found out how they actually worked in competition. We used a quick disconnect system that didn't get pulled out easily, so we never had that problem. I don't remember what they were called, sorry.

Regarding my comment about keeping control of your controls, I didn't mean coming back from the field. We made the mistake of letting the drivers keep them (at first), and many times at practices (and some Thursdays!) the clips were forgotten.

Overall, they worked out well and helped the drivers a lot -- I would put them on our controls again, if the game calls for it.
