Re: LEDs on Robot

They are legal on the robot, as long as it does not affect the outcome or gameplay of the other teams. Mainly, is it too distracting for others, and will it affect the camera systems are the main two questions you should think about.

I am not sure what the proper way is, but we recently added some similar lights to an old bot at the shop to do some driver testing with a modified HUD. We simply ran them from a 20Amp Breaker to a Spike Relay. Then tied it to the cRIO with a PWM. I know this is the method for custom circuits that are non-functional*, but I would assume the same would apply functional lights.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

*By non-functional, I mean decoration only
