Re: LEDs on Robot
As others have said, yes, they are legal as long as they are not going to interfere with other robots vision systems. This year that's less of a concern since the vision recognition targets are not lighted, or green.
The best way to do what you want to do is to connect the additional leds to spike relays so that you can turn on the ones you want in a given configuration. The important thing to remember is that if you are building your own led strings that they will be powered by 12 volts when you are doing your current limiting resistor calculation.
