Seconded. I would also suggest making it a very bright color that's easy to see from 15 feet away or so.

And just some food for thought, there are going to be a lot of teams that aren't going to be sold on hanging from your robot, I for one am completely opposed to the idea of trusting anyone enough to attempt to hang their 150lb (yes I said 150lbs, 120lb robot + 13lbs + 15lbs bumpers = ~150lbs) robot from our robot and vice versa, so you're going to have to sell whatever hanging mechanism you have to your alliance and prove that it has a safe working load of 300lbs for two robots and 450lbs for three robots.
