http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14965We 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:

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.

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*

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.

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.
