This seems like the right area to talk about this, so here it goes. It would be nice to have more and different sensors in the KOP. I think if there are certain motors that are known to get a little warm if put under the wrong strain, then it would be nice to have heat sensors that you can attach to them for monitoring them. I'm not sure if hot motors are a big problem, but they do heat up pretty quickly when they are pushed to far. Also there could be a heat source in stead of a light for tracking during the game.

This is also a stretch, what about a small LCD screen that is used on the controls or something. This could replace some of the warning lights on the control panel. If theres enough room for memory, it could also be used for other things, like a heads up display with specific information about your robot, real time scoring, using a camera to look around, and other things I'm not thinking of.

I don't know how much these would add to the cost of the KOP, but they would be cool to have. It might be a couple of years before they are cost effective for FIRST to put in the KOP, but I will just have to wait.
