As long as we still have red. I appreciate the comedic relief of having to explain multiple times each season that "No, blinking red doesn't mean it's about to explode or that anything is wrong."

On a more serious note, as someone who likes to use lights on motor controllers to help troubleshoot problems on robots I look forward to having some additional information at my disposal when I peak into a robot with the SPARK. Hopefully it can be put to good use!
