Thank You - There could be 3 displays in between the Green LEDs and mount them slightly higher where they can not be touched by no robot nor human and The only damage they should endure is constant vibration which we know they already can handle since these displays have been used for 8 years or more. It does not take a rocket scientist to piggy back the data off of one and let that one feed the others. The Mounting is already there and the wiring route is already there - all you need are the materials to finish the job. It may not be any good this year but something FIRST should put together for next year. Have a Time Clock on top of the Goal (If it is stationary like it has been in '04, '06 & and now in '07) out of the way from human or robot contact where they can be visible to both the competing teams and the audience. And for (explicitive deleted) and giggles you can have something built into the on-screen display that resembles a countdown timer with our new friend the progress bar.
