        <description>I love this unit.  It's very clearly a low volume hand-made electronic product for a very niche market.  It shows the quality results that can be achieved when somebody inventive uses a 3D printer. The circuitry also has a very distinct hand-rolled feel to it.   I'm not going to go too deep into it, because it would be unethical to reverse engineer such a specialist product.  And a huge amount of the work is done in the software locked in the microcontrollers anyway. Subsequent to the video I stripped the battery holders that had been damaged, neutralised the alkali damage with vinegar, rinsed them off with isopropanol, cleaned the contacts and then reassembled with fresh batteries and a note to the owner to remove batteries when in storage and use a complete fresh set for all major events to ensure reliability. Here's the manufacturers website if you need an infrared beam race timing system:- http://www.timeitperfect.co.uk If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-   http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. #ElectronicsCreators</description>
