Arduino based Automated Sports Court Drawing Bot
Rajesh Kannan Megalingam, et. al
Stadium maintenance staff are one of those people who work hard to maintain the court correctly. One of the items that often require rework is the lines drawn on the court for maintenance of track or boundaries or even the entire court when it is football stadium etc. Besides, for indoor stadiums that host volleyball, basketball, tennis, etc., lines need to be drawn. Redrawing the court after each match is one of the major problems of concern. In such a scenario, a system is proposed that can draw the court lines autonomously. The objective of this research work is to present a design of an autonomous sports court drawing bot that can draw the linear lines automatically which can aid in the maintenance work of the sports stadium.

After athletic arena life safety obligations are met (governed legally by NFPA 70, NFPA 101, NFPA 110, the International Building Code and possibly other state adaptations of those consensus documents incorporated by reference into public safety law) business objective standards come into play. The illumination of the competitive venue itself figures heavily into the quality of digital media visual experience and value.
For almost all athletic facilities, the consensus documents of the Illumination Engineering Society[1], the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers[2][3] provide the first principles for life safety. For business purposes, the documents distributed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association inform the standard of care for individual athletic arenas so that swiftly moving media production companies have some consistency in power sources and illumination as they move from site to site. Sometimes concepts to meet both life safety and business objectives merge.
The NCAA is not a consensus standard developer but it does maintain a library of recommended practice documents for lighting the venues for typical competition and competition that is televised.
It welcomes feedback from subject matter experts and front line facility managers.
Our own monthly walk-through of athletic and recreation facility codes and standards workgroup meets monthly. See our CALENDAR for the next Sport or Lighting teleconferences; open to everyone.

Today we review the literature informing the safety and sustainability agenda of sport enterprises in education communities; in the United States at least — one of the last, if not the last, meritocracies in academia at large. School districts have hundreds of playgrounds, gymnasiums and playgrounds. Athletic departments are very visible enterprises; particularly at large colleges and universities with varsity teams that have long been “farm clubs” for professional sport companies.
This facility class is far more complicated (technically) than classroom facilities; closer to research and healthcare delivery enterprises in risk aggregation when you consider how many people are involved as spectators. This facility class resides proximate to the actuality of rehabilitated or additional sanitary facilities which we cover in our periodic Water 200 colloquia.
Throughout 2024 we will break down our coverage thus:
Field sport
Court sport
Water sport
We will also explore best practice codes and standards for recreational activity:
Rock Climbing: In the sport of rock climbing, technical skills, grip strength, and body positioning are crucial for both indoor and outdoor climbing. Climbers must navigate a variety of challenging terrains and routes.
Fencing: Fencing requires quick thinking, precise footwork, and precise blade work. Fencers need to anticipate their opponent’s moves and respond with well-timed and accurate attacks and parries.
Quidditch: Once a fictional sport; now widely played as “Quadball”.

* Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy (1888-1973) was a German-American philosopher, social thinker, and linguist. He was born in Berlin, Germany, and was raised in a Jewish family. Rosenstock-Huessy studied law, theology, and philosophy in Berlin, but his studies were interrupted by World War I. During the war, he served as a lieutenant in the German army and was taken prisoner by the Russian army.
After the war, Rosenstock-Huessy continued his studies and became a professor of law and sociology at the University of Breslau. He was forced to leave Germany in 1933 because of his opposition to the Nazi regime, and he emigrated to the United States. In the United States, Rosenstock-Huessy continued his academic work and became a professor of social philosophy at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.
Rosenstock-Huessy’s work focused on the role of language in shaping human culture and social institutions. He believed that language was not just a means of communication but was also a way of creating and organizing social relations. His ideas had a significant influence on the development of linguistic phenomenology and hermeneutics.
Some of his notable works include “Out of Revolution: Autobiography of Western Man”, “Speech and Reality”, and “The Christian Future, or the Modern Mind Outrun”.

Abstract. With the activities of major sports events have become increasingly active and the social influence of sports events is gradually increasing, people have more and more opportunities to watch matches in sports stadiums. Sports stadium, as a place of relatively large occupant density, has high demands for its safe operation except that it is necessary to meet the needs of competitions. Under the unexpected situations, how to ensure the public safety has become the focus of social concern. This paper takes the emergent evacuation simulation of sports stadium as a main research object. It concerns the main problems that how to use virtual reality technology to build a three-dimensional simulated scene of sports stadium; how to truly simulated the whole evacuation process of many people under unexpected situations. The scene modeling of sports stadium, The construction of evacuation model, The visualization of evacuation process, Dynamic Roaming and Interaction design, Evaluation system and other issues are discussed in this article.
