Light Capture!
An active game where the object is to maintain control of as many light pods for your team as possible by the timed round's end.
- Use the special Light Capture gloves to wave your hand over a light pod to light it up in your team's color!
- Set up the game by hiding pods around the playing field
- Each small pod is worth 1 point and has a 20 second "un-capturable" period
- The larger central pod is worth 3 points and is able to be captured after 1.5 minutes of gameplay.
How it works:
- Magnets in the Light Capture gloves activate a Hall effect sensor
- The Hall effect sensor activates a switch, which goes to an Arduino microcontroller unit
- The Arduino controller keeps track of timing key to the rules of the game and controls the color and pattern of light that is displayed by the light pod
- A captured light pod will display the color of the controlling team, indicated to the microcontroller by the polarity of the outward face of the magnet
