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


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

I just like the lights. Having lights that show *anything* are a little bit sketchy simply because someone's bound to pick up on it sooner or later. Better yet, just keep everything important on the dashboard and leave the lights for the "OOOOOH-AAAAAAAAAAAAH"s.
