Basically we are just concerned about answering a boolean question here. As in: "Is the left goal hot?" If no, don't hold up the board/light and assume the right goal is hot. If yes, hold up your indicator.
The goal was to have zero external devices that could run out of batteries, get left in the pit/cart/etc, be dropped, or otherwise malfunction at the worst possible moment. Holding your hands in the box on a static background is a pretty darn repeatable action and satisfied that requirement.
