Re: light up buttons
Eric, I found what you're talking about, on page 32 of the Good Practices document. However, remember that the purpose of the document is exactly the same as its name: "Guidelines, Tips, and Good Practices", not "Rules". The rules come from the manual, and as far as I can tell, LED-illuminated switches are indeed legal on the OI. My best guess is the reason for that particular "Caution" bullet point in Good Practices is to avoid teams blowing out their OI by trying to run incandescent bulbs.
(As a side note, my team is using illuminated buttons on our OI, and after careful analysis of the manual, we do not anticipate running into any trouble at inspection time.)
