This can be crucial. Having the ability to put the raw sensor values on screen is an important part of defensive programming. If the robot is misbehaving, it's nice to be able to quickly pinpoint a disconnected gyro or limit switch.

There were ideas for an additional tab that we never got around to implementing: a "preflight checklist" with appropriate indicators.
