We should get some of this.

We can show when we have <60 psi, when we're arming or when we're ready to fire. I could have fun with this.

I think it'd be cool just cause robots with under-lighting or that ominous "glow" look nice.

And for only $14!!!

Yeah. I think it'd be nice around the top.... Or at least somewhere where it glows above and below.

Found from this thread on CD:

The team in the picture there used these:

Those don't look as good.

We could put some just high enough so that it's eye level for the opposing team...and then FLASH! Other alliance is blinded. We win.
We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves.
The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus.
This is not the algorithm. This is close.

Haha, like that commercial in a bar with the beepers for the basketball/football games. Camera guy blinds the entire football team with a 3-4 foot flash.

we need to get a blue one and a red one and switch them out when we change alliance colors.

P.S. why is Tanner up at 5 in the morning looking online at strip lighting?

If we get a RGB we won't need to. I can just change that in the programming.

That'd be so sweet. And then armed could be green! Autonomous could flash green/blue! *excited*

Because I like Chief Delphi.

I don't like the idea of telling the defense when we're ready to fire. maybe it could flash just after we fire, in celebration in case we scored a goal.

5-meter red green blue - it can cover the entire perimeter of the robot plus some more.

True, we could do something else then... :\

5 meters is a lot! That's 16 feet. That's a little than 3 of me laying down end to end.
