Re: Is this legal? cause its cool!

Expanding on what ahecht said, I believe you would be in violation of R31

Quote:
<R31> No devices or decorations are permitted on the robot that are intended to jam or interfere with the operation of the vision system (i.e. changing robot color to confuse opponent’s vision system).
Now, I suppose if you really wanted to read into that, you could say, "But we aren't intending to mess with the other robots!!" Still, you'd be in violation of R102

Quote:
<R102> Decorations must not affect the outcome of the match, and must be in the spirit of “Gracious Professionalism.”
On the chance that a camera could see the green light, and could track that, which could screw up the operation of it's vision system ... I'm going to say steer clear of the green bulbs.

If you're really set on the "coolness" factor of the underside of your robot glowing, I'd pick a completely different color and do sme testing with your own vision camera, first, to make sure it won't interfere during a match.
