You can now get LED strips that run on 12v like the Neon ones for under F&F cars just cost more but they look better, seen someone recently replace his Neons with LED strips.

what color led suits a black robot best ?
blacklight?
No its been resurrected!
The thread that needs an archive for its archive!
I would say white or blue
Green.
This could run and run lol!
IMHO blue looks best on most bots but is also the mose expensive.

Even though I shouldnt get involved here, I *will* say something (semi-)practical:
IMHO, itd be a bad idea to use a white LED. Itd be hard(er) to tell from a reflection of the arena lighting. Other colours Ill leave for other people to (re-)discuss. (Does alternating the colours on a multi-colour LED count as flashing? No, shut up Andrew...)

Sorry to start this again but I have 2 completly seperate circuits in my robot, 1is 24v and the other is 14.4v. I have two seperate links for these systems.
My question is, do I need an LED on both circuits or will just one do?
Regards
Ian

Yep.
Think about it Ian. If you pull the link or you lose power to the 14.4v drive side, you still have 24v power to your valve which is still armed and alive and ready to fire your pneumatic flipper. Even though the arena crew approach all robots as if they can potentially move/fire, it€™s miss leading that you have no LED on your weapon and it€™s armed. 2 LEDs like Ewan said.
