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...

From a distance it is hard to tell who's who. I think if they had a couple of large LED panels it would be better, otherwise go back to the globes. Yes I know they kept breaking but at least you could see the alliance color.
