Well, the old green cold cathodes are: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=8334

Re: Are Lights Allowed on the Robot??
They should be allowed as "Non-functional decorations" as long as they will not interfere with other robots or their drivers, but read the rules, especially the Parts Use Flowchart, to make sure.

Re: Are Lights Allowed on the Robot??
Neon i think is prohibited but cold cathodes are allowed but a team may request to have them turned off if they are using a cmu cam. i think this is right but if im wrong please correct me.
