headlight is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Help us fill the gaps in the "Kit Of Parts"

CoolerMaster clearly has the ability to design and mass manufacture sheet metal components designed to house fairly sensitive electronic components. I would be interested to see what could be done with those resources. A standard board for mounting electrical components would be an obvious start, it would go a long way to making rookie electrical systems more stable and could end up being a fantastic teaching tool, giving new teams a physical example of effective layout and wire routing practices.

Another interesting product might be a driver station sized case with designed in battery power, a hybrid between a laptop and desktop. It would give teams more flexibility and computing customization options for their driver stations.

A small sheet metal assembly that provides shock mounting for the roborio and radio would be pretty neat.

Sheet metal fan ducts and higher powered fans (or fans designed to be powered by a 775pro) would help teams explore more inflatable mechanisms.

An improved adjustable camera mounting system for the Microsoft lifecam.

I'll post more things as I stare at our robot and dream.
