It's a shame that the last year (if memory serves me correctly) was 2001 where there were no "allainces" perse since all four teams were on the same team...and the only real people who needed to know which robot was which color were the refs/scorers.

Yep 2001 was the year were everyone worked together to achieve some diabolical dynamics =). The LEDS wouldn't be soo bad if FIRST could provide two more of them. I think it was in 2004 were teams actually recieved 4 LEDs that needed to be placed on all sides of the robot so that the robot was visible from all angles to see what alliance it was on. Since 2004 though first has only sent out 1 or 2 to each team.
Personally I miss the rotating light it made field reset fun b/c then you would have to vacuum up the broken bulbs left behind. However I also like the LEDS because you don't have to change lens covers and its lighter and less space & power consuming.
Either or I like them both. =)
