The RSL has absolutely nothing to do with your user coding.
The FRC image controls it.


Arggg..... No, no, no, no, no

The purpose of the big yellow light isn't to be a flashlight to light the field.
It's purpose is to let robot status blinks be seen at a distance across the field.

We used a multimeter to check volts coming out of the RSL 2-pin connector, and returned 0V. Also, we touched the wires straight to the 2-pins and the light still didn't flash. We've tested the light itself, and it works as it should. The "green LED next to the RSL pins" as another team told us, doesn't light up/blink.

EDIT: Also, the Big yellow light, when wired into the 12V terminal on the PD board pulsated, and wasn't a constant on/off. It flashed in incraments.
