Panning rainbow when disabled or just in "Demo" mode. RED or BLUE when you want to indicate your Alliance color. Flashing green when locked on target.
The options are endless.

Thats one of the ideas we had, but I wanted to make sure that the basic isolated system was legal as a fallback incase we need the IO for other tasks. Also we were going to take a look at I2C going from c++ to arduino, so if anyone has an experience with that your thoughts would be appreciated. I have done some basic arduino -> arduino I2C stuff but have not had a chance to look at the Crrio C++ interpretation.
