Re: cold cathodes w/ OI

You may not use the OI to power anything except the joysticks and LEDs on the provided ports. If you bring something to the player station it must be self powered and not connect to the OI in any way. There is a whole section in the manual relating to Operator Control System. However, a light of any kind will attract the refs attention more than almost anything else. I would leave the lights for at home and when you are showing the robot off to community groups and sponsors.
