Why does every team need to have the LEDs in their kit of parts?
How about making a standardised "LED holder" instead of the flag holder. Run an extension cable from the RC "team color" ports to an area next to a square of Velcro in a visible place on the robot (hold the cable on with those adhesive things you can zip-tie cables to). In the queue each team is given an LED cluster box (or two, depending on how many clusters there need to be for the LEDs to be visible) that will attach to the Velcro and plug into the cable extension on the robot. Just like flags, only shinier.
