I wouldn't worry any time soon...

In reality, the technology already exists & the integration wouldn't be all that difficult - I've done far more complex systems. The biggest technical hurdle would be instrumenting the ball - miniature ruggedized sensors do exist, but designing & integrating the package would be a challenge, so perfecting that could take a while. Everything else is pretty much available off the shelf.

Oh, did I mention the cost? I roughly guesstimate the first systems would likely be around $500K each, but you could probably cut that in half with volume production. Know anyone that wants to fund it?
