For an updated project description, click on the following link for the Project Readiness Package. Athletes are constantly striving to improve their own performance in high intensity sports. A device that simulates the projectile motion of a baseball or similar high velocity object can be a useful training tool. Lightrail will be a flexible track on which LED lights simulate the movement of a pitched ball and act as a cue for initiating a swing. The Lightrail will be a cost-effective product that provides a system which allows the player to use a variety of starting and ending speeds to simulate a moving ball. The accuracy at which the athlete stops the projectile is measured and displayed within milliseconds. The goal of this project is to deliver a working model of a reaction time testing machine. The device needs to be fixed and accurate enough to deliver results meaningful to the athlete. All intellectual property will be given to the sponsor. Current Light Rail Model |
