Re: Electronics visible?

Well, as far as I know, it's not stated in the rules, but it would be a good idea to keep you robot controller's LEDs visible. We found it could be useful at the end of a match when your robot does something totally unexpected and you want to know what happened. Next, you look at the robot controller's LEDs (which are still being powered by the backup battery) and you notice the problem with a red LED. You go back to your pit area, fix the problem, and it doesn't happen again. If you're looking for a material for see-through material, try lexan. It was protective enough for us last year and we were still able to see our LEDs on the robot controller.
