Could we have a definitive answer on flashing power lights please? Unless my eyesite is really letting me down the rule in question is

6.8.
All Middleweight, Heavyweight and Superheavyweight Robots must have a light easily visible from the outside of the robot that shows its main power is activated.

We are going in entirely the wrong direction if the currently published rules are embellished by anyone who sees fit to do so.

This doesnt even mention feathers. Having been told and accepted that feathers were to be included I asked for guidance on required specs. Having received no definitive/consistent answers I selected my personal preference of of 10mm red flashing LEDs. I know the cost of changing these is negligible provided I am allowed to run the existing setup until my next parts order goes in, but it is exceedingly annoying when people who failed to answer the initial questions seek to impose new rules that arent even published yet.

Personally I can see little problem with flashing LEDs. They seem to me to be far more easily visible, has anyone else ever tried seeing if there car alarm is on or off on a bright sunny day If reliabilty is the perceived issue in my experience they default to non-flashing on mode if the flasher fails.

Anyway rant over my simple question is where does the alleged non-flashing rule originate from and when/where can I expect to see it published and be enforced.
