Re: Bring Back the Rotating Light

I found an old LED from last year so I had two to mount on the robot. One on each side of our bin, high up. I think the hight and the fact that there was two of them helped a lot to tell whether or not the robot was powered up, what mode it was in, and which alliance it was on. Sometimes it was hard to see the LED on other robots, although I didn't see any that had negelected it entirely, some of them were hidden well!
The flags worked well, but there was an issue with them coming out when robots were tipped, and I did see one instance where a poof ball from a shooter hit the top of the flag and sucked it right out of the holder.
