Re: Fancy RGBish lights on robot/cart/etc

We were going to use these IKEA DIODER LEDs for underglow lighting on our chassis. There's a little dial to select the color (not a remote control) and we would have powered it off a VRM or PCM relay control. We were going to dial in either red or blue for our alliance, or purple (our team color).

Unfortunately we just didn't have enough time to install it.

Re: Fancy RGBish lights on robot/cart/etc

If you intend to put these on your cart, please make sure you can easily turn them off. I've repeatedly had to ask other teams to turn off their blinking lights when we are in que desperately trying to fix something and they are shining in our eyes.

Think very hard about how to make them look cool but NOT be obnoxious. Every team around thank you for it.
