Webcast =/= on the field. I can tell you that from first hand human player experience. When you're worried about getting balls to your robot as fast as possible, you don't notice when a ref is waving his flag. If the safety zone was more noticeable, we'd have a lot less G40s. A small strip of yellow tape isn't really cutting it.
They should just remove the tape and extend the safety zone all the way to the edge of the field.
