Completely Wireless Epee

Two Plugins2.png

My objective for this product was to produce the lowest cost solution for electric epee fencing, whilst keeping all the features you expect from a modern electronic scoring system. This has been achieved by eliminating both the body wire and centre display unit. 

​

Prior to the start of the design and development, I considered which aspects of epee fencing were "essential" and which were "preferred" based on typical fights.

 

This is what I decided:

​

  • 100% guard hit detection - essential

  • Tolerance to high levels of sweat - essential

  • 100% metallic piste detection - essential

  • 100% mask hit detection - preferred

​

I have achieved as close to 100%  guard hit detection as can be realistically measured.

 

Tolerance to sweat is difficult to quantify, but testing in the salle and feedback from customers indicates it is very high.

 

The same technology used to detect guard hits is also used to detect metallic piste hits, so again the accuracy is close to 100%.

 

Hits to an insulated mask (i.e no bare metal) register but unfortunately, hits to bare metal parts of the mask are detected as a guard hits and therefore do not register.  I hope this negative feature does not detract from the much larger number of positive features.​​
