Re: Heads up!
I actually thought of somehow projecting data onto the glass, assuming next year's field permitted it. (Given that FIRST has recycled its fields a few times, I see no reason why it wouldn't.)
The only two problems I could think of were cost and Atlanta. Cost is a big thing--it's not easy to project that sort of thing onto the glass without a $?,000 projector. With just the LEDs, you have to know what each of them mean.
Atlanta was the other dilemma. If you were at the Georgia Dome, you know how bright it could get in there. I'm afraid that lights like this would get drowned out by the ambient light in the arena. I don't think it would be nearly as bad at the darker regionals (such as Palmetto).
