Re: LED Underglow
They can provide information even if they are just powered off the PD. The cheap ones we use dim pretty quickly when the voltage drops, so we can tell when we are pulling a lot of current or when our battery is low by looking at the lights. It's also a really bright way to tell you that your robot is powered on. Standing behind the driver station looking at a non-glowing robot means you forgot something pretty important before the match.
