Why stop there BITS? We can incorporate multidimensional laser interferometry scanning to cover the lines and net, RF id tags on each player to track their positions on the court in real time and RF linked velocity and pressure sensors in the ball to monitor ball velocity and contact information in real time - all integrated into a high speed SCADA system that provides real time feedback to the R1 via a ruggedized display screen.
