RGB LED strips on our Robot

[jbsmithtx]

At this point in the season, our team is ready to start making our robot look good. I recently found this kit: http://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers...bxgy_hi_text_y

Now, the main problem I have with this is that it is obviously a complete ruler breaker: We cannot control anything via IR. Does anyone has any ideas to remove this or simply set a color on an RGB strip? or, if you have a better idea for underglow/ perimeter lights, please post it here. Thanks.
