Unfortuently my senior year in first was the year of the blue DS. I have seen an example of the new system, but I have never used it. I'm talking (as stated above) for the average joe/freshmen scouters/webcast watchers/pit crew/etc. I know most of the light flashing patterns just from helping the FTA at IRI, but the FTA gets a nice diagnostic screen that I think would be cool to show to the audience (at least some of it).
