Ours got fried too - we don't know what happened to it but it is now very dim. Like we have to take it to a dark room to see it dim.

As I remember, the old team led clusters operated at 12 volts. Therefore, plugging the light into the team LED outs means that the new diagnostic light is also meant for 12 volts, and the main battery really couldn't have hurt it.

I think your mentor will be pissed for a different reason.

Truly a throwback to the revolving light.

We had that same exact problem. We saw the price for another one and so I had to spend about a couple of hours figuring out what made it dimmer. Turned out, some of the metal shavings from all the holes the team kept drilling into the bot, got into where the relay sits - cleaned it out and now the light became operational again.
