Should referees signal disqualifications?

In Archimedes QF3-2 two disqualifications were called. About one minute into the match our alliance captain's robot (997) was pulled down just after capping a goal by 1071. A referee could be see making a notation of the violation, but no other indication was made. With seconds left in the match our robot (980) rushed toward the center goal to defend it from a cap by 1071 on the blue alliance. We struck team 435 with our arm causing it to tip and the used our arm to steal a tetra from Team 1071 just as they were about to cap the center goal. The result was a double disqualification in a match where our red alliance would have won by almost 50 points.

If some VISIBLE indication was made that blue was DQ'd, we would not have been tempted to be aggressive and would not attempted the last second heroics.

Should a pending DQ be indicated by the referees??
