: Lights have the potential to suck a lot of power and I'm almost positive that FIRST said all decorations that require power must be ran off the 12V Exide. Just thought I'd remind you.
Rule M9:

- Decorations MAY draw power from the control system...
C20: During each competition match, your robot may contain only one of the two batteries provided by FIRST.
My take on this is that you can have another battery to power any decorations that you want, as long as it's not the other one that you got in the kit. However, there's the whole weight issue all over again...
