Re: LaserQuest type game

Idea:  Use an IR laser to paint the target (i.e. light up the tree next
to the target, no data RF emissions needed then - just voice), for a
cheaper more affordable system;  Camera would have to pick up IR then,
of course.  But that's desirable anyways, I'd think, here!

  I don't think an autonomous hovercraft paintballer splatter a la Dean
Ing is quite do-able.  Yet.  Think RPV, though...

  And I'd hate to be on the receiving end of someone flying an A-10
model with TV camera & paintball cannon onboard <G>

  Sandisk makes Flash laptop drives, pretty darn durable though
$$pricey$$...
