Re: Bring Back the Rotating Light

[quote=Ogre
If you really want them, you can use them as a non-functional decoration, as 121 did this year. They change the lens cover as needed to indicate their alliance color, just like old times.
Their light caught my eye more than once, and was very visible.[/QUOTE]

We chose to use the light as a decoration for the classic FIRST appeal as well as siliness factor.

It is the light from 2003. The light, lexan and velcro mounting bracket, wire and spike weigh under a pound together.

The light is situated at the bottom of our lexan drum/spiral, and actually looks pretty slick on the field.

Personally, I think the flags were awesome in helping identify the alliances (although between the bumpers and flags some matches did look like bumper cars...) In my opinion, the flags are winners, especially if they can be secured from falling out in the future. (In a semi-final round, Gael Force shot Pink's flag completely over the driver station and off the field!)

Good luck everyone!

Rob
