Re: Led Tape Control
For Lunacy we had a LED light strip to signify that a ball was ready to shoot. They came from a car supply place and were controlled by a Spike. We used blue, but they come in red, blue and white, about 12 LED's in a 24" strip. Can you post the link to your tri-color strips?
A strip of LED's will be easier to see rather than a single LED as you rocket across the field.
We wired it the same way you would wire the compressor. Compressor on, LED on. It sounds like your strip has a common power feed, so you would do +12 to that. You would connect the other end via the spike to ground. I'm still thinking you want three spikes to make it easy. Spikes connect to the relay points.
You could even go wild and have it be solid on for the low, slow flash for the med and fast flash for the high so your robot partners know where you going.
