Daft Punk Helmet/Speaker Cozy

A make I did awhile back of a Daft Punk Helmet (thanks to bendiger on Thingiverse) I was compelled to upgrade with some leds. I had just fallen down the Arduino hole (inevitable, save your pity), and I had come across "John Ericksen's Neopixel Shield Plasma Effect that I'm screwing with by Presence" on Codebender.  I used the Adafruit Neomatrix shield with an Arduino Uno and an AA  power pack, tucked into the foam at the top with velcro. The plasma pattern is beautiful and mesmerizing. 
I would love to add two more of these 5X8 Shields to each side. Scrolling text would be interesting with the three chained and slaved to the one board. I am hobbling through my first real programming, so I am not even yet convinced this is possible. Enjoy!
