Re: LED flashers
Personally, I sometimes had a bit of trouble discerning the LEDs. I wound up using context clues (team number, where the drivers were looking, etc.) to figure out alliances.
Perhaps either a tweaking of the LED flashing is in order, or maybe (and I know this sounds low-tech) a flag that teams have to mount on their robot once it hits the field? Just pop it on the top when you set up, take it off when you get off, no weighing or measuring or any of that. If nothing else, it'll make things that much easier to see for the spectators (which FIRST is trying to aim for--to a point). I pity the poor folks who were sitting way up at the top of the stands at Palmetto. I shudder to think what would happen had they opened the upper deck up!!
