Who's Blue? Who's Red?

I was wondering what people thought about the new alliance marker LED's used this year? At Manchester we were told that it was OK to use clear tape to hold the covers on, since they kept popping off. But my big problem with them was that I had much more difficulty telling what color each robot was. I heard the same comment from several others. When your own robot is competing, it's easy to keep track of who's who, but when other teams are competing I find the old light much more useful than the LED's...
