Wireless Fencing Scoring System
For Engineering Design 6, our group plans to pursue the project to make Wireless Fencing Scoring System.
Problem:
The scoring system available currently is too expensive and very heavy to move around. Not everyone can afford to buy the fencing scoring machines.
Solution:
Eliminate the wires by using wireless systems (Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc) that is cheap and can fully function as the wires used currently. Softwares are made so that people can just buy it and load the program into laptop - this will make fencing scoring machines very portable and almost every fencer can own one.
Current Fencing Scoring System:
Green: The scoring machine
Pink: Wires connecting the machine to the reels
Red: Wires connecting the reels to the fencers
Blue: Reels
Wireless Fencing Scoring System:
Pink: Laptop with the loaded scoring software
Blue: Bluetooth devices that sends information to the laptop
The steps taken and the research made by the team can be found here.
interesting, good luck nisa
My son is an officer in a college fencing club. He would be very much interested in testing anything you develop.

Thank you for your interest. I will definitely contact you when we reach the testing stage, etc. Thanks again =)
This turns out to be a really complicated problem if you handle it all. I hope to read more from you in the future and see how it goes.
If you make it I’ll buy it!
