Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay Description The Ampline System will control a camera to follow a hockey puck through a negative feedback loop. 4/18/2019 Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay

Previous Implementations FoxTrax- Used IR LEDs embedded in the puck and a multitude of sensors to locate and then illuminate the puck onscreen. Implementation required a separate “puck truck” to process the data. The system was expensive and widely despised by the hockey community. 4/18/2019 Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay

Ampline Implementation RF Transmitter embedded in puck 3 RF receivers used for triangulation Control system for camera position adjustment Motor system with pitch and yaw adjustment 4/18/2019 Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay

Motor/Camera Assembly Mounting tripod for camera Motors for adjusting camera angle 4/18/2019 Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay

Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay Considerations Size of transmitter - less than 2.25 in2 Environment – Pucks stored at 0°C Battery Life High G-forces – Upwards of 100 G RF interference Motor speed/Camera response Stability of camera 4/18/2019 Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay

Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay Risks RF signal doesn’t provide necessary voltage resolution Motors not fast enough to keep up Inability to overcome RF interference Implementation of transmitter inside of puck (power) 4/18/2019 Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay

Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay Contingency Plans Shift to an angular triangulation method Track at low speed Track puck on a computer screen Increase power of transmitter at expense of real world functionality 4/18/2019 Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay

Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay Marketability National Hockey League television ratings are low, a fact often attributed to a lack of watch ability. Increase watchablility, therefore, increase ratings. Ratings=money. Example: NFL TV contracts total around $6 Billion. Also expandable to other sports and applications. Web based expansion would be marketable to online sports sites (ESPN.com, sportsline.com, etc). 4/18/2019 Nickell, Martin, Rothe, Shay
