Re: Bring Back the Rotating Light

I'm going to agree with Ben. This is the first year that I have been able to easily identify which robots are on which alliance. I find that it's much easier with the flags than it was with the light.

In addition to that, I also really agree with Al - I hated the current draw, I hated the weight, I hated finding a place to package it, and I hated the awful grinding noise those lights made. I was happy to see them go.

The LEDs were useless in my opinion. The flags solve the problem quite well.
