Senior Design Project: Vest Free Laser Tag and Texas Star (VFLTTS)
Members:
Reneau Augusma, James Gossett, Chace Arrington
The goal of
this project was to create a laser tag system that was able to both emit and
detect hits with all the hardware being contained within a single blaster
controller. In addition to this there would be a simulated version of the
"Texas Star" shooting target, which has five plates mounted to it via
electromagnets that will release from the body when a hit is detected from the
blaster controller. The blasters communicate via expected values transmitted
via IR (infrared) emitters and taken in by receivers. The blasters can play
laser tag in two game modes: teams and free for all, in which there are two
teams of which members of each cannot inflict hits on their own teammates or
themselves, and free for all in which everyone can damage everyone besides
themselves. During play each blaster has 10 health and 15 ammo, meaning it can
take 10 hits before being eliminated and no longer able to play until reset,
and it may only shoot 15 times before needing to be reloaded via a reload
button. The Texas Star plates do not have specific game modes and simply
activate the electromagnet and await a hit when powered on.
