We spent our seminar making this case, after the administration finally approved our request to have one. We think that it looks pretty sweet. We used blue and red film from our auditorium stage and it made the colors of the light change. (Better then the ordinary white) Let me know how you all think that it looks, and what improvements that we could make! (Nothing to do with adding more lights or anything that consumes electricity) Also thanks to Dan *spazdemon548*, Don *Robostangs 548*, and everyone else for helping make this look sweet.

To bad the school wouldn't let us back light our water-jetted logo. The orange is lexan with vinyl over it but there's no outlets in the showcase for ac. We tried to get permission to daisy chain of the florescent light's power but, they said it wasn't safe.

I have to say, you guys have one of the coolest logos I've seen in FIRST. Keep up the good work.

If you really want a backlit logo, maybe you could charge a battery from the fluorescent light using photovoltaic cells. |

Do you think the battery/photovoltaic cells is going to have enough power for the backlight plus the air pump to keep those tubes inflated? By the end of next week they'll need inflating again. Hmmm... would it be easier to vacuum-pump the air out of the display case so the tubes would appear inflated?

Wow, that looks shiny. You will have to think of something to keep those tubes up though. Make a freshman blow it up after school everyday.

That is pretty awesome!!! Congrats guys on getting your school to give you this - shows progress and positives for schools where their school doesn't showcase anything with the team.
side note - imagine how awesome that showcase would be if it was a water game year
