Robot controller lights question

We ran into a small problem with R<72> regarding the robot controller lights having to be visible 3 feet in front of the robot in playing configuration. Our robot has a cover for the electronics board and the robot controller is blocked by our gearboxes so even if we manufactured a lexan window the controller would not be visible from the front. Our proposed solution is to run a few lines of fiber optics up to the cover as the rule specifies that only the lights have to be visible. I am concerned with the legality of this solution. Does anyone know if this solution would be allowable?
