Yeah, I completely agree with that. If I remember correctly it was in the FRC manual that your team number had to be clearly visible from all four sides. And while they may have been clearly visible to people near them, for a lot of teams they weren't visible at all from the stands.
Some one else mentioned something earlier about alliances not being clearly marked. I think that's also an issue for not just outside spectators, but people like parents who come to watch their kids' robots, but don't really know robot numbers of other teams making it more difficult to understand the alliances.
