Re: External power for LED worklights?

That's actually a really good idea (especially for those robots that have stacked electronics or small, closed spaces), and I'm sure teams could justify the cost and time to build such a thing.

Even if your team does build it though, don't forget to bring flashlghts anyways just in case the light system fails (but assuming the person knows how to solder and knows their positive leads from their negative leads, it shouldn't) or you need to look in a dark spot somewhere else (under something in the shop, for instance).

I'm thinking I should talk to my team's electrical guy and see what we can come up with, though. I'ts a cool idea.
