I would expect that if this idea takes off, it may get shutdown by R08, especially brighter lights like the one shown; which you stated you will replace with something less distracting, but copycats may not follow suit, thus creating a ruckus and causing the rules to tighten up significantly.
Quote:
R08
ROBOT parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with the operation of other ROBOTS.
Examples of items that will violate R08 include (but are not limited to):
A. Shields, curtains, or any other devices or materials designed or used to obstruct or limit the vision of any drivers and/or coaches and/or interfere with their ability to safely control their ROBOT
