As I'm watching the Palmetto webcast, I'm inclined to read the blue bars (and the blue tower #) as "This is what the blue alliance has accomplished so far", since it's on the same side of the screen as the blue team numbers.

However, now that I've watched matches for a bit, I understand that the blue bars mean "strength of blue Outer Works, as done by the red alliance" - same with the tower.

Did anyone else get the same confusion at first, or am I just really bad at reading the display?

Im having to readjust my thinking every like minute during matches to account for this. Its really annoying.

Same here. Watching the LED displays on the defenses and towers helps for me to get it right.

Same, though the far low bar in the webcast can sometimes look lit when it is actually damaged

Whats going to be even more annoying is when the webcam is on the opposite side of the field and the sides of the score don't line up with the side of the field.

This is always really confusing. Seems easy to fix though!
