Dear All,
Allow me to address all the questions, one by one:
Roelof :
I'm especially happy, that you answered, you seems like to have a nice reputation across here. so:
1: Yes, you are correct. We are racers ourselves, have multiple AMB transponders ourselves. What we don't have, is a 3000 euro decoder, and a 600 euro software, with what I can go to my local track, and do a practice session, and measure, what driving technique, and what setup change can give me more tenth on the track. Furthermore, there are lots of smaller club, or community tracks, that simply can not afford to buy a decoder and software package for their track, as it is the case over here, in Hungary as well. Also, if you are a basher, and say, you buy a UDR, or a Revo, or any other car, those cost substantial amount of money. If you're interested in, that which of your buddies doing your backyard lap faster,then this is a cheap way to measure accurate time. Our real world testing revealed, that the transponder's accuracy are
within 1ms, so in that perspective, this system is on par with the top dogs.
2: Yes, this is one of our main area, to reach out to those racers, who have no access to an AMB system, like I wrote above. Additionally, this software can run full and complete races as well, with audio, sector times, and printouts alike, so it is also capable of doing complete race days.
3: The thickness of the tape is 1.5mm, that is suitable for onroad racing. we made extensive testing over here in Hungary, on both tarmac tracks, and carpet alike. On Carpet, you just simply have to lay the strips under the carpet, and the biggest challenge is to remember, where you put them, because they are so thin, they absolutely vanish under the carpet . On tarmac, if you following our suggestion to duct ape the strip, then there is absolutely no drawback, no car bounce nothing that we could notice during the testing phase of the system.
4: The tape can be cut to any size, if you have a huge 1/5 track with a 10m corner, that also can be accommodated.
5: The detection of sector vs finish line is actually one of the few proprietary information, that I'm not allowed to disclose at this time

If you miss a sector time, because let's say, you get out of the track at the tape, then at the next sector time, your time will be added. If you get out of shape at the finish line, then it is Business as usual, because no lap timing device would get your time anyways.

Yes, you get the picture fairly accurate

.
On the internet thing: the web app can run on a smartphone, these days everyone has them, and the internet coverage is fairly universal throughout the developed countries. If you don't have a smartphone, or wifi at the track, a 20 usd GSM extender can be used. It is one of the particularities, that this system needs to have internet connection to the cloud, in order to register the lap times.

The size of the unit is 24x16x3mm to what I'd say, can be accommodate in a mini-Z as well, but if you give us a chassis type, we'll see if we can find it, and try to fit it in.
