Default Idea of laser for first down

I know some of you have had this idea, but Michagan Joe's post of creating new ideas for the game and some good advice got me going on this little project. Now if only someone knew how to create a tiny little light for front of base tackeling.A light only used on the r.b's,but would only light up if the front of the base of the defender would hit him. We would need a device that would only go on the defender's front bases that when engaged with the r.b's front base,it would only then light up. Just a thought. I hope you like the pics.

Great idea Frank! I used a laser sight for this purpose awhile back but the Black and Decker tool is alot less expensive. Excellent.

That is really cool! The original idea is great and I can't believe you followed thru so quickly and how good it looks. For me there is nothing better than to see an original idea turn into reality. I will brain storm the "lighted" tackle base concept when driving to Miggle....can you imagine if we could get that idea to work in a simple manner?

I can see a use for this immediately! In some rules the entire yard must be made to get credit or not.In other words the runner is stopped on the 22 1/2 yard line the line of scrimmage would be the 22. On close calls it would act as the "chain gang". Nice job Frank!

Default Thanks

for all the help guys. Jeff, I'm still working on that one bud. Did anyone ever get into Dewayne's secret passage and find all those bases?

Default Stay tuned

Chris Fields sent me a post that will be even better than the picture above. That guy is too creative. I can't wait to see his work he told me about so stay tuned on this laser thing.
