Robot RGB LEDs

I personally like the Adafruit brand NeoPixels. Lots of supports, but they use standard WS8212 LED drivers on each. Never used them on a competition robot, but I find them wonderful for home projects and some little projects here there for the robot.

Thanks, those look like they are definitely more heavy duty than the 5050, and only require 1 Arduino pin to control (and are individually addressable, so yeah) Thanks! I'll look in to using them more next season.

I second these. They're also pretty darn bright; we used them in our LED ring for vision tracking
