WaveBags – Automated Cornhole Scoring System
The WaveBags project focuses on innovating the classic game of cornhole by incorporating an electronic scoring system through RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology. This project aims to improve the gaming experience by eliminating manual scoring, giving players a seamless and automated scoring process. The cornhole boards are equipped with several antennas that read chips that are embedded in each of the cornhole bags. As the cornhole bag is thrown onto the boards, the RFID technology is received and accurately records the score following the throw of the final black cornhole bag. This system not only adds a technological edge to the traditional game of cornhole, but also introduces a more efficient and engaging way to play the popular recreational game.
