Re: FMS final scoreboard design

Additionally, I would like it if foul points were clarified on the scoreboard, since in every other sport, a foul indicates a penalty on your team, a random observer at a FIRST event might see 20 foul points on red alliance score and think red caused the penalty (heck, sometimes it even confuses me).
They could probably outline the two boxes of the winning alliance in gold or something. It's some reprogramming, but it would be either way, so there's maybe something to be said for keeping the "highlight" on a single screenshot.

I'm all for the auto/teleop differentiation. It's even already in the Twitter feed, just not on the board. A different term for the fouls would be nice, but I can't think of anything that fits easily. "Fouls Received" would be clearer, but maybe too long.
