HOW DOES IT WORK?

You might be wondering, "How does electric fencing even work?" Well, fencing blades actually have wires that run up and down the length of the sword. The tip is almost like a button, and upon hitting an opponent, the tip will depress, which completes the circuit. An electric signal then travels through a body cord that is plugged into the weapon and into a wire reel connected to the scoring machine to register a hit. It sounds a bit complicated, but if you want more information, you can check out the video below!

A LITTLE BIT OF FUN!

Here's a video of me fencing with my brother, Pranay, in our basement. Kudos to Pranay for doing an amazing job of filming, editing and lending his voice for narration for this video. He had to place his iPhone at multiple locations throughout the bout to film this video from multiple angles!

We are using a fencing scoring machine that I developed using Raspberry-Pi and Python programming language. I used low cost materials - stuff that I could find at home to create a wiring/pulley system that connects to the scoring machine. You can see more details on this here.
