The lights also have another purpose......after the season is over they become very useful.

for example our team was able to take our old robot to Burger King and we ended up placing it outside on the sidewalk with the light on, rotating, and with the red case over it.
needless to say that at night time the cars on this very busy road, it is right before the expressway entrance/exit, slowed down to a crawl because they thought there was an accident....I ust love nosy human nature......anyways, while they were going extremely slow Aaron and I, aaron is a good fellow animator, ran over and tried to get them to honk there horns and come into the drive. we actually got several people to come in because they were curious...again love that human nature....we got some pretty good money that night. and we owe it all to the rotating red light that could be seen from all 4 sides.

just a little story to show that those lights can be very useful....when used properly and has two crazy looking dancing people by it.
