We were a stacking robot, and we used the LEDs to tell when we could raise the box or boxes we had collected to continue to stack.

461 Did something very similar in 2003. We had Different color LED's on the sides of our saftey glasses which lit up or blinked depending on certain things going on with the robot. We eventualy abandoned the idea after a few regionals because we didn't like having to plug them in as fast as we could when we were able to touch the controls. However they were very useful and we had a different set of display options for operator and driver.
