I agree with both idea's. In any given match our entire game strategy is largely dependent on how our opposing alliance is doing that match. As the coach I try to keep score as best I can but it is impossible to keep track of the opposing alliance when I am watching ours. Both ideas would help to improve overall match play, however I do not see either of them being implemented in the near future due to costs and other factors.

This year I have assigned our human player to keep track of where the basketballs come into the feeding station and to call out the score of the opposing alliance every time he picks up a ball. This has worked really well for our team, and our alliances and I think we will continue doing it.
