neon tubes require a high voltage to operate. I wonder if this was the source of your other control problems?
with any equipement that has a radio receiver, and analog inputs running on long wires, you need to be very carefull what type of other equipment you install, esp something that runs on high voltages.
I would not recommend running light tubes side by side with any control wires running through your robot chassis - the PWM wires for example - that would be begging for problems.
