These rotating lights were easily able to be broken, they were difficult to mount b/c of their size, they carried way too much weight, and above all they are expensive to purchase. FIRST made a good decision in ditching the rotating lights. visible they were but robot friendly they weren't. I'm kinda upset at the fact that they even ditched the LED clusters which were more robot friendly due to its size and weight. I like the color coded bumber or velcro coded system idea it would be alot better then these flags. And a alot more safer.
