Rules on decorations:
Quote:
|
<R17> Any non-functional decorations included on the ROBOT must not affect the outcome of the MATCH, and must be in the spirit of “Gracious Professionalism.”

Quote:
|
<R51> Decorations may draw power from the 12 Vdc electrical system as long as they are powered via a dedicated 20 amp circuit breaker on the Power Distribution Board, and do not affect the operation of other control system components.
|
Quote:
|
<R91> All decorations must be on the ROBOT at the time of final inspection.

I don't see anything saying that they have to be powered through a Spike. I've gone through looking for "decoration" and "spike" and can't find them in the same sentence.
Though it would be a good idea, and probably considered part of the circuit for <R51>.
