If we end up having a game with invisible pieces or invisable zones or what-not, the crowd will not being nearly as "in to it" as they normally are.
I think this is the 3 colored light thing from '06 ATL. I think that the IR will be for robots and that the "signals" (light, radio, etc.) that the field piece(s) will give off will not be consistent throughout game play. Anybody find this a reasonable assumption?
