If those come back, they should be left out of the weight. And have better covers.

In 2003, I was volunteering on Galileo. I'm pretty sure it was the Techno-Ticks that seemed to break the domes, on average, once per match. That may have been due to mounting or driver error, but going under the bar for them meant plastic on the field. My team didn't have that problem, as our light was mounted so it had to go below the frame if we went that route.
