Should teams place the numbers like this:

1. [0000]_______[____]
2. [000_]_______[____]
3. [00__]_______[____]


Or like this:

4. [__00]_______[00__]
5. [__00]_______[0___]
6. [___0]_______[0___]


Our number is 3490, and I am thinking we should split the numbers across the face of the split side (#4).
As a ref, I would prefer method 1/2/3. I want to be able to see the whole number at one time. With method 4, I might get confused between 3490 and teams 34 or 90. Methods 5 and 6 seem particulary obnoxious to me - I think it's the single digit by itself that looks bad (unless you are one of those single digit teams!).

I wouldn't have a problem at all with [3490]_______[3490], provided you don't use one of those numbers as a substitute for the number being on another face of the robot. But as Eric mentioned, you should probably clear it through Q&A.
