Slalom racing gate monitor system

A method of providing a slalom racing gate monitor system, the method comprising:

• obtaining, at a microcontroller, a sequence of sensor readings from a plurality of sensors of a first, second, and third sensor, each reading in the sequence of sensor readings indicating an object detected in the field of view of the respective sensor, wherein each of the first, second, and third sensor are coupled to the microcontroller, the first, second, and third sensors each having a field of view and disposed on a slalom pole, and disposed in a configuration where the fields of view of the first, second, and third sensors cover up to and including a 360 degree field of view around the slalom pole;
• determining whether the object passed the slalom pole on a correct side;
• and
• presenting a notification of whether the object passed the slalom pole on the correct side.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

• obtain, at a microcontroller, a sequence of sensor readings from a plurality of sensors of a first, second, and third sensor, each reading in the sequence of sensor readings indicating an object detected in the field of view of the respective sensor, wherein each of the first, second, and third sensor are coupled to the microcontroller, the first, second, and third sensors each having a field of view and disposed on a slalom pole, and disposed in a configuration where the fields of view of the first, second, and third sensors cover up to and including a 360 degree field of view around the slalom pole;
• determine whether the object passed the slalom pole on a correct side;
• and
• present a notification of whether the object passed the slalom pole on the correct side.
