Re: Robot Decoration Ideas/help

Don't put too many lights if you come to any of the comps as 1165 cause I'll be staring at your bot, hypnotized and chanting, "Shyyyynnnyyyy!!!"

Put some pneumatic risers underneath the bot and some neon strip lighting underneath. In your pits, set up a specific time when you do a robot show, running those risers and making the bot jump like those old 80's cars.

Use RGB lighting hidden so you can change the color on the fly. Use CCFL where the lighting is going to be seen.

If you have an arm with a U-channel, slip a strip of RGB LEDs inside the channel and fasten! Make it change colors when the shooter is at different positions or ready to shoot. That looks cool!

I think it would be cool if some team put some portable computer monitor on their robot's side, connected to their choice of onboard processor. That way, you could show slideshows, or place a camera and show the camera feed live!
