Speed Climbing Timing Systems - SHIPPED!

Today I shipped a speed timing system to USAC representatives in Texas and New England - one for use at the Southwest Divisional Championship and another system for Northeast Divisional Championships.  One should be in Texas in 2-3 days and the other in Mass in 3-4 days.

Here's what was in the box:




Large display with power cable (includes 2 wall warts - one for the digit displays and one for the electronics - integrated into a single cable).

White CAT5 cables - various lengths from 50', 30', several 25' and 20' and 10'.   Since I don't know the gym and installation, a variety of lengths were enclosed.   You will not use all the cables sent.

2 Hand sensors (those with the yellow dots).
2 Foot sensors for false start detection (white triangles).
1 Starter console - using one of the CAT5 cables, connects to the main display
1 Bag of installation helpers (white cable ties to tie CAT5 cable to bolts in the wall to keep it out of the way of the route, 2 3/8" washers.)

This is a momentous occasion as it represents hundreds of man-hours of design, testing, improvements, and build-outs.

We hope that others may improve and build off this design for the benefit of speed climbers everywhere.
