Re: LED Visibility

Yeah it is a little difficult to see them from the audience. I think it would help if they blinked faster because it's hard to scan the field quickly to get a feel for who is winning when you have to wait for each robot to blink. Then after the match it's even harder because there is a long delay between blinks.

I think they should swap the auto mode blink with the normal mode blink. In auto mode they blink much faster and it makes it easier to see who is who.

Though the LEDs are useful for other things. 60 was having problems with losing control of their arm when they tried folding it in so they could hang. Someone took a video of the match and it was clear that their LED stopped blinking, then blinked 4 times quickly in the last 5 seconds of the match. According to Tony from IFI that means they lost radio communication.
