We are working to figure out a new timing system for use at AutoX based upon scanners reading a 5X5" (or larger) bar code stuck to the side of the car.
Please try this test and tell me what happens. Next time your at Home Depot use the self check out line. When you scan your items move them just as fast as you can left to right. Please post the result. I was surprise how it worked. Thanks. PS I don't have the pricing yet, but the scanners we are looking at work up to 15 feet away, so that should work for an AutoX course. |

[/QUOTE]having little bar codes on the side of our cars would look pretty cool. much better than shoe polish on the windshield!!![QUOTE]
Right, especially those huge ones that Demick puts on the windshield! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) But Howard, try the Home Depot test and run it across the scanner as fast as you can and tell me what happens. |
