[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1027366, member: 18006"] Except that there isn't a GPS system in existence that can track a moving object any more precisely than a couple of feet, so current GPS technology doesn't offer a solution. But I wonder if RF sensors could be installed at the goal line, to work in conjunction with passive IR tags on the ball. They're light, tough to damage, and don't need batteries. A tag crosses the goal line, it's a touchdown. It would only work for goal line situations, though. It wouldn't work for general, "4th and inches" scenarios all over the playing field, because basically the entire field would have to be one massive RF sensor. The NHL has experimented with puck tracking technology for years, but so far they haven't really dialed it in. Seems like it would be easier with a puck, too. [/QUOTE]
