BTW: I think this picture also shows the reason for the rotating lights used to identify alliances (2000-2003, replaced by LEDs from 2004-2005, replaced by flags from 2006-2009, replaced by bumpers starting in 2010) AND the requirement to have the team number visible all over the place. Ah, the rotating lights--so visible, and so annoying to mount so they'd stay intact. And yes, they counted towards your weight. So did the battery.
