Re: How 'bout a solid-state rotating light?

It may be too expensive for FIRST, but it's low-power, lighter weight, silent, and much more durable. We just need a really good, solid Lexan cover (unbreakable) and we'll be all set.
My old team (308) did this in 1999 and it worked very well. We had an array of about 50 LEDs on each side arranged in a ~4" X 8" rectangle. If I find a picture, I'll put one up.
