Abstract
A video recording assembly includes a cart that may be positioned on a support surface. A plurality of wheels is coupled to the cart. A track may be positioned on the support surface so the track extends between a starting point and an end point. A processor is coupled to the cart. A motor is coupled to the cart, the processor and the wheels. The motor may urge the cart along the support surface. A camera is coupled to the cart and the processor. The camera may record the athlete while the athlete is running. A sensor is coupled to the cart and the processor. The sensor may detect a motion of the athlete. A plurality of pins is coupled to the cart. The pins engage the track. The cart is guided between the starting and end points. The cart travels alongside the athlete when the athlete is running.
Claims13
A video recording assembly comprising:
- a cart configured to be positioned on a support surface proximate an athlete participating in a foot race;
- a plurality of wheels coupled to said cart such that said wheels are configured to roll along the support surface;
- a track configured to be positioned on the support surface such that said track extends between a starting point and an end point;
- a processor coupled to said cart;
- a motor coupled to said cart, said motor being electrically coupled to said processor, said motor being operationally coupled to said wheels on said cart such that said motor is configured to urge said cart along the support surface;
- a camera coupled to said cart wherein said camera is configured to record the athlete while the athlete is running, said camera being electrically coupled to said processor;
- a sensor coupled to said cart wherein said sensor is configured to detect a motion of the athlete, said sensor being electrically coupled to said processor such that said sensor actuates said motor when said sensor detects motion of the athlete;
- and
- a plurality of pins coupled to said cart, said pins engaging said track such that said cart is guided between said starting and end points when said motor urges said cart along the support surface wherein said cart is configured to travel along side the athlete when the athlete is running.

- said segments each having a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge extending between said front and back ends of said segments, a top side of said segments having a pair of rails extending upwardly therefrom, said rails each extending between said front and back ends of said segments, said rail each being positioned adjacent to an associated one of said first and second lateral edges of said segments;
- said cart being one of a plurality of said carts such that each of a first one and a third one of said carts are configured to be positioned at an associated one of said starting and end points having a second one of said carts being positioned between said first and third carts;
- a spindle rotatably coupled to a top end of said tower on said first cart, said spindle containing a cable such that said cable is selectively extendable between said tower on said first cart and said top end of said tower on said third cart;
- a chute coupled to said top end of said tower on said second cart, said chute being elongated between each a front end and a back end of said chute, said front and back ends of said chute being open, said chute being substantially hollow, said cable being extendable through said first and second ends of said chute such that said second cart is movably coupled to said cable;
- a processor coupled to said second cart;
- a motor coupled to said second cart, said motor being electrically coupled to said processor, said motor being operationally coupled to said wheels on said second cart such that said motor is configured to urge said second cart along the support surface;
- a camera coupled to said second cart wherein said camera is configured to record the athlete while the athlete is running, said camera being electrically coupled to said processor;
- a sensor coupled to said second cart wherein said sensor is configured to detect a motion of the athlete, said sensor being electrically coupled to said processor such that said sensor actuates said motor when said sensor detects motion of the athlete;
- a plurality of pins coupled to and extending downwardly from said bottom side of said second cart, said pins comprising a pair of sets of said pins each being positioned adjacent to a first oblique side and a second oblique side of said second cart, said second cart being positionable over said track such that each of said sets of pins engages an associated one of said pair of rails on said track, said track guiding said second cart between said starting and end points when said motor urges said second cart along the support surface wherein said second cart is configured to travel along side the athlete when the athlete is running;
- and
- a power supply coupled to said second cart, said power supply being electrically coupled to said processor, said power supply comprising at least one battery.
