Are Lights Allowed on the Robot??

Are neon lights allowed to go on the robot at all? please tell us

Thank You, Ben Team 2191

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

I’d say neon would be as well.

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.

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.

i have another question…do you guys know where i can find the “stuff” about them like volts etc…

the cold cathodes run at 12 volts with the provided transformer. are you guys a rookie team? if not you should have some transformers and cathodes from last year
