 I would rather not having a modion detector.. would make things too 
easy. But what we need is a hit indicator. Probly one of the easiest to 
implement would be to modify the shield image. If it was segmented to 
show front/left/right/rear then you could flash one of those segments to 
tell you where you have been hit.
