Yeah I can almost garauntee you that the light restrictions will be not nearly as strict.
The rule puts robots that go under the bar at a great disadvantage. Basically, their robot has to be 10" tall leaving an entire 4" for the light.
And then there's the fact that a light like that would be way too exposed. When 14" high robots hit the center boxes, heavy bins will come crashing down on it from 6 feet in the air and I can almost garauntee a large number of lights will get cracked. What's worse, having your light only exposed 1/2" or having no colored shield to protect the light and signify your team color? It's even possible to lose your light altogether (a bin fell on one of our previous year's robots and completely ruined the light and cracked the bulb. We had to trash it.)
