we are useing 80/20 so the bulb would NOT be visable to other robots, but would make a cool green glow under our robot.

would we be called on this or what?
In addition to that already presented, the chance of breaking one or more of the tubes during a match is astronomical. Although the risk is low, the tubes do contain some nasty material and we shouldn't be exposing participants and field personnel to that inhalation risk. I will have to think about it but I might rule it OK for you to make them removable before match play if you just want to make the robot look nice when not doing anything.
