Re: Color Coded Bumpers as Flag Replacements?

FIRST should make some sort of long-range artillery-based game. Like... Launching potatoes!

Man, after I get the money needed for IFI's control system + Kitbot chassis parts, I am going to have so much fun building a personal robot for me to do whatever I please with it (robo-recliner, Portable Potato Artillery, Soda/Iced Tea Can Launcher, Shirt Cannon, etc).

I've thought this too. High-power LED's (4 red, 4 blue) in the status light, have only your alliance color turn on, have it double as a status light/alliance indicator. That'd be the best option (especially since the rules call for it to be visible as well).
