I'm not too sure... I don't think any...

We broke our blue light before we shipped our robot. We were aiming at a stack of four, ran right into it, and the top bin just happened to fall on our light in the right position so as to crack it. Luckily it didn't shatter.

At SVR, we were in a match with a bot that had wings. In autonomous mode, we were going up the hill and as were they, I believe. As we made it over the hill, their wing grazed over the top of our 14" robot and got caught by our light. Their bot was trying to move away and so was ours. Just before we had human control of the robot, the opposing forces caused their wing to shear our light off. Not just the light cover, but the reflector and the light bulb as well. :ahh: Heh... it was kinda cool. That became a task to replace, but our electronic specialist was kinda pleased to finally have something to do... lol.

We broke the entire light assembly in St. Louis and almost broke another but we got lucky and the light bent backwards and bent the steel mesh.

You'd think that they wouldn't break so easily, since they're domed, but no. We broke another team's light cover at BAE.

Broken - 0

Cracked - 1 (our blue one i think...)

And that is from a bin falling from the top of the stack and hitting us. No robot/robot or robot/bar action...
