There's probably going to be too much happening for the feeder to keep an eye on the drivers for the whole game. To make matters worse, the view to and from the driver stations will become obscured as more logo pieces are placed.
Thus, I support on-robot signaling. However, for that classy feel and improved visibility, use neon or LED underlighting colored corresponding to the desired color. It would be fairly intuitive to give a red piece to the robot with bright, flashing red lights.

Loud music, an antsy crowd, and a bunch of moving machines on the field. Too distracting for most people who would be human players.
I think I'm going to suggest the underlighting method at our next team meeting.
