Rule 6.8 - All Featherweights, Lightweights, Middleweights, Heavyweights and Super Heavy Weights, must have at least one surface mounted non-filament power light that is illuminated when power is supplied to the robot. (I.E. when the link is in.) The power light can be any colour but must be non-flashing and be in contrast with its surroundings.

I bought a blue coloured LED for my bot and then decided to read the rules afterwards (silly I know - shouldve read them first ) The majority of my robot is blue and I thought to myself Well thats the LED useless since it doesnt contrast. But would it be suitable if the panel on which it will be mounted (which is clear to see, it isnt tucked away or anything) were to be painted completely white. This way the blue dot of the LED would be distinguishable. Would this be likely to pass a safety check seeing as it contrasts with the mounting panel or would the fact that the rest of the robot is blue count as its surroundings and not be allowed.

Jamie

P.S. Theres a pic of it on my profile - imagine the panel with the Scotland flag was painted white with the blue LED in the middle
