Yes, the LEDs on the RC, Victors and Spikes are visible through the clear cover and sides of the box when it is folded up. So it will pass inspection (or they better give us a REALLY good reason why it shouldn't!
).
And Kris, no, Lucien's brother had nothing to do with this. Two students on our team built up the basic prototype for the design in my shop over the summer, and tested it in the fall on our demo robot. We then turned them loose on the version for the competition robot in January, and this is what resulted!
Our whole approach this year has been to make the robot as modular as possible, and built for quick access to the subsystems. As noted in the caption, the entire control system pops right out with two cabinet latches after disconnedting the cables. The drive assemblies come off with just two bolts and two wire disconnects. The complete pneumatics system comes off in under two minutes with four bolts, and disconnecting the air hoses. The superstructure comes off with six bolts and two wire disconnects. We can build up from a bare frame and the modules sitting on the floor to a complete robot in under 20 minutes, and tear the entire thing back apart in less than 15. Of course, we are REALLY hoping that we don't have to do that too many times!
