Senior Design Team sdmay20-40 • IC Chipz

About the Project

As the sport of skeet shooting ages, the ability to find trained referees for the sport becomes more difficult. With a mobile automated scoring system the team plan to open up the sport of competitive skeet shooting to a larger audience by giving them a product that can accurately and affordably track their scores and improvement in the sport without the need for a real life referee.

Our hope is that IC Chipz can fairly and accurately dictate realtime skeet scores for singled shooters given nighttime conditions, and given this expectation, supply avid shooters with real time feedback without the need of finding a licensed referee.

The Design

The system will consist of two parts, a small portable device that a user can bring onto the skeet field and a mobile application, named Skeet Vision, that will communicate with said portable device. The portable device will determine if a clay pigeon is live or dead and communicate this to Skeet Vision, where the result will be displayed and automatically scored. A user can utilize Skeet Vision to review the footage and challenge a ruling if necessary. Skeet Vision will keep track of each round's scores. Skeet Vision will be an Android and iOS application.
