<R16> ROBOTS must use the diagnostic signal LED provided in the Kit Of Parts. Field personnel
will use the LED during the matches for diagnostic purposes. It must be mounted on the
ROBOT such that it is easily visible while standing three feet in front of the ROBOT in its’
STARTING CONFIGURATION. Instructions for connecting the LED are provided on the
FIRST website at www.usfirst.org/frc/2007/manual The Robot Controller directly powers
and controls the LED. The user has no control over the LED and no programming is
required.

It's pretty bright, so as long as you don't bury it inside the robot, you should be fine.

<R79> Teams are permitted to connect a portable computing device (Laptop computer, PDAs, etc.)
to the RS232 Output of the dashboard port of the Operator Interface for the purpose of
displaying feedback from the ROBOT while participating in competition matches. Please
note that AC power will not be available at the playing field so these devices will have
to run on internal batteries.
