I may be thinking of another team, but either way, it apparently wasn't an effective solution.

188 had a light on a pivot in 2003, spring-loaded with surgical tubing; it never broke during two regionals and the Championship. We'd just drive full speed (i.e. around 12 ft/s) under the bar, without regard for the light. It never seemed to matter.

I wouldn't really mind if they were part of the weight: everyone would be stuck with them. My bigger concern is that FIRST doesn't pick a model that has a grounded frame (as in 2000–2002).
