Hookup a monitor and run graphics (have your robot running the PacMan screen saver).
I'd love to see that! The composite out means you can get one of those el-cheapo displays, and run some cool stuff. Or even cooler, have your vision tracking stuff showing on the screen so that the audience can see it! They wil be amazed! Otherwise, you can show a video feed of what the robot sees or maybe a slideshow of the team's achievements! What about LCD bumpers so you don't have to keep swapping them out?! Maybe that is a little excessive, but is still cool!
