The thought has crossed my mind. The front panel will likely become transparent as a consequence and that should allow our drivers to be sure that we don't have more than one empty cell in our possession at once. We'd like to keep the hopper opaque, however, so that other teams have a more difficult time keeping track of how many balls are in our possession.
