-I surpassed my minimum deliverable by getting LEDs working off board. I did not get the accelerometer and gyroscope integrated. That would be the next big step. Overall, I had a reasonably scoped project, and got a fun and physically demoable final product which was really important to me. The biggest difficulty was just fighting with silly Verilog errors, and the incredibly slow process of synthesizing code and then programming it to the FPGA.
+I surpassed my minimum deliverable by getting LEDs working off board, however, there are still feature that I would like to add:
+  * Saving the program to persistent memory so that it could be turned off and on (I realized this toward the end of the project)
+  * Getting the accelerometer and gyroscope integrated and controlling how the lights blink. I intended on using the Arduino GY-521 MPU-6050 Module 3 axial gyroscope accelerometer stance tilt module to get the necessary data.
+  * Adding more patterns
+  * Adding more (and brighter) LEDs and cleaning up the look and packaging of the system
