The lights add more identification for more than the team members. The ref's and the public often have a hard time telling who is with who.

And another point.... They add an excitement of 'Flash' to the event. This make good footage for TV and other media.

As the other posting says they also have a function. They tell you when power is on or off. It helps identify who has the problem if there is a power failure and when it occured, what moment.

As a bumper, they are very durable as Dean dropped it from 5 ft and it just bounced.

I am sure that teams can mount them is an appropriate location that will not hinder their machine.

Weight of these.... this year look close at the additional materials list,.....weight problem solved.

Bumpers, bumpers, I agree what a waste of energy. Why would you bump a team and put them at risk when you need your opponent to score points for you to win. If they are damaged then you have to score for them for you to score any reasonable amount of points.
