Exactly...though I would really wonder about the need of such a system. Sure it would be nice, but the usefulness of a Heads Up display wouldn't exist for most teams who only check the LED's if something is wrong. At that point, you have more problems than watching both the robot and LED's at the same time.
[edit]
Nevermind.....I realized your talking about adding LED's to the system.
