Introduction & Project Summary

The goal of The Ragtag Tag Team, as we affectionately call ourselves, is to design and build a real-time-localization system that can be used by players in an NCAA basketball game. RTLS is used in the NBA’s Advanced Stats system, but commercial RTLS platforms can cost $25,000 or more. Our design goal is to construct a system that can track ten players in real-time using embedded radio-frequency tags on each player, while still being affordable enough for college and high-school basketball teams to use.
