But it could be considered a functional decoration.
There is no such thing as a "functional decoration" - only a NONfunctional decoration. If it has a function, and that function is to create disruptions and mayhem, then it's probably not a good idea.

Nevermind the fact that TRAILERS DON'T EVEN HAVE LIGHTS ON THEM

The game manual is not something that is printed only for mentors. Each and every FIRST competitor should read it (at least sections 5-9), regardless of team status.
