I agree. Imagine how hard it would be to see if that is a empty cell or a moon rock at the other end of the field through slightly scratched plexiglass, 6 out-of-control robots, and the fact that you have a stadium of people staring at you with lights above. Plus that great pulsing dance music!

This troubles me since my team apparently has quite a few color blind members.
