| Prototyping the system |
This project concept came from a YouTube subscriber. Todd, who is a 6th grade computer science teacher, has a section of each semester where his students build, and then race, small robot cars. In the past, he filmed the students, ran a stopwatch and recorded each race's final times... all while trying to help and teach the students.
He wondered if an automated timing system could be created with a visible time display. Adding LED lighting would be a bonus. What follows is the system that we eventually created.
