t-and-f: Heisenberg, Chip Timing

2002-01-02 Thread ROBERT J HOWELL
I haven't read about this yet, and since there is no college cross to talk about, what the hell. Heisenberg said, "The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa." Heisenberg was talking about sub atomic particles, but this

The current system has trouble picking up the chip that high above the mat. However, some work is being done to move the system up chest high (such as the poles in a department store that is used to detect shoplifting). I was at one race in which a group of runners picked up the #'s the night bef

The crucial fact about chip timing for XC (Winning Time or ChampionChip) is that the resolution of the chip is about a tenth of a second. At the recent NCAA DIII Championships, with a little over 200 finishers in each race, 12 finishers were recorded by the chip system out of order in one race and
