LED configuration Help/Question

[KingRandy]

Hey everyone, hope all is going well during the 2015 build season. One thing my team wanted to do last year but didn't get the chance to was to have some "interactive" LEDs (like the ones in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1yN0lGJLM ). I was wondering how teams program/connect the LED's so they "interact" with the robot. I imagine this is achieved through an arduino which my team luckily has. My team is using LabView to program the robot. If any of you can point me to a guide or comment about your own experience that would be awesome! Thanks and good luck!
