Yes! We used LED's on the robot to tell our HP in 2011 which tube we wanted thrown out onto the field.

We used LEDs in 2013 to show one color when our shooter was turned on and another color when they were at the ideal speed. IIRC 341 and 33 did something similar in 2012.

254 did this in 2014 as well.

It is useful for all four members of the drive team to be able to see the same status signal without needing a bunch of wearable devices and cables. The approach helps to quickly diagnose problems in the pit as well. If you are sensitive to the other alliance being able to see it during competition, well, put it on the back of your robot.

How about a tall piece of lexan or something that is attached to the DS at a negative slope, with the bottom behind the DS laptop and the top hanging over it, high enough to be above eye level. A projector could plaster info onto the sheet, similar to the HUD on higher end cars showing RPM, Speed, Gear etc. on the glass windshield.
