What about instead of the Orange Diagnostic light, make it have a clear dome, add those super bright LEDs and then you basically have a Diagnostic light that is set to the team color... and for the people saying "Oh, well if the robot loses the connection to IFI, it doesn't know what color it is" then instead of letting the RC control the light color, have a SPDT switch to set the color of the light. I personally do not like the flags as it does not say "Hey I'm on the Red alliance!!!! Woo!!!" but it says "I'm red..." LEDs stand out much more than a flag, and if FIRST gets the high powered LEDs, then we should definitely use them.
