Just curious here...

Let's say you have a nice, GP-style motocross track that you allow
friends to ride on. And let's say you positioned some nice video
cameras at strategic points around the course -- you know, by the big
jump, the whoops section, in a few hot corners, etc.. I was wondering,
is there a way that the individual riders could come to a table of
laptops after finishing their ride, insert flash media, and download
their specific occurances (and only theirs) filmed by the course
cameras?

Seems like this could be a very convenient, almost immediate
self-evaluation tool. But the "system" would have to have some way of
knowing which rider's occurances to [sort and] delivery. Are
transponders capable of this?

You might be broadcasting a million $ idea all over USNET.
With some custon software, electronics and a few servo
motors you could make it work.
I like the way you're thinking!.

What's that old saying, "Takes money to make money?" That probably
applies to me as much as anyone. I'm always coming up with ideas that
I have no chance of actually seeing to fruition, whether they'd really
be successful or not. In other words, this wouldn't be a first for me.

That said, I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that someone,
somewhere, already has a working model of such a system. And if not,
then maybe someone here with the means to make it happen can possibly
profit from its development. If it fails, however, don't call me I'll
call you ;->

That would be pretty easy, as long as the transponders can be read
from a small distance at speed.

As long as you have transponder readers at various spots around the track,
it should work. That's how they do it in Moto-GP, GPMX and that all
American roundy-round sport. You just have to find a way to sync
everything.
