The lights were interesting too say the least...

I would have liked to see a few matches played where they used more of the mood lighting, but the one time they did the reset was when the house lights were turned off, and were then turned back on.

My only complaint with the lights was that they took precident over some of the teams. One time everyone started dancing on the field and they turned the lights off, ignoring the team fixing their robot. A few flashlights and cell phones helped fix it till they turned the lights back on. It would have been nice to have skipped some of the light shows and get back on schedule (we were 90 minutes late at one part.)

I think they should have done the finals with dimmed down house lights with the mood lighting. I don't want to say that it was this totally stupid, but this is cool idea that needs to be worked out more...
