A bubble of LEDs would weigh probably around 4 ounces and would be highly visable and still small ( and cheap/inexpensive).

I'd agree with this! I've got 192 white LEDs grouped into 16 vertical bars under a clear plasic cover. A solid-state rotating light. I use this on my bicycle at night... low power and VERY, VERY cool. (Also useful at robot demos) With cheap LEDs from ebay, it cost about $30. It may be too expensive for FIRST, but it's low-power, lighter weight, silent, and much more durable. We just need a really good, solid Lexan cover (unbreakable) and we'll be all set.
