R709       *ROBOTS must have a signal light. ROBOTS must use at least 1, but no more than 2, diagnostic ROBOT Signal Light (RSL) (P/N 855PB-B12ME522 and/or am-3583).

Any RSL must be:

A.      mounted on the ROBOT such that it is easily visible while standing 36.0in (91.44cm) away from at least one side of the ROBOT,

B.      connected to the “RSL” supply terminals on the roboRIO, and

C.      if using the 855PB-B12ME522, wired for solid light operation, by placing a jumper between the “La” and “Lb” terminals on the light per Figure 8‑13.

Please see How to Wire an FRC ROBOT for connection details.
