SLALOM RACING GATE MONITOR SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A slalom racing gate monitor system, the system comprising:
- a microcontroller;
a first, second, and third sensor, each coupled to the microcontroller, the first, second, and third sensors each having a field of view and disposed on a slalom pole, and disposed in a configuration where the fields of view of the first, second, and third sensors cover up to and including a 360 degree field of view around the slalom pole;
wherein the microcontroller is to;
obtain a sequence of sensor readings from a plurality of sensors of the first, second, and third sensors, each reading in the sequence of sensor readings indicating an object detected in the field of view of the respective sensor;
determine whether the object passed the slalom pole on a correct side; and
present a notification of whether the object passed the slalom pole on the correct side.
