Remote Control of Automated Balloon Setting machines that were designed for the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Sport.
- A full system consists of 10 of the Balloon Setters, a Signal Light Tower, and a Remote Control. Each item is battery powered so there are no cords in the arena.
- The remote control operation cannot be “spoofed” or tricked into resetting by an unauthorized transmitter as the communications protocol is custom.
- The remote signals the Signal Light Tower to show Red or Green to let the next rider know it is set to enter the course.
- The remote cannot “reset” the pods while the Signal Light Tower is set to Green, as the rider may be on the course.
- Each pod can hold up to 206 balloons for continuous operation during large events.
- A full battery charge can set all of the balloons of the largest belt.
- Extra batteries are available to be able to swap in during a competition, likely while swapping the belt.
- The balloons are preloaded, by the owner/operator of the system, into belts that can be changed out in a few minutes for additional stages.
