I could step back and turn towards the pedestal, but that took me away from the scoring tablet and the action on the field.

Too bad there aren't LEDs on the inbound zones that are wired off the same circuits as their respective pedestals.
... Then again if you light the inbound zones, it would make much more sense to just make the rule say that you can't inbound a ball without the inbound zone being lit. Maybe add in something about the entire alliance being able to only inbound 1 ball per instance of their respective inbound zone lights turning on to aid in clearing up confusion, but otherwise you wouldn't really need the pedestal anymore.
