[QUOTE="skylineTT, post: 7716255, member: 576995"] My friend is working on a controls project where he's scaling down a 1/8th mile drag strip for R/C cars. The idea is actually use sensors to activate the tree and clock. He must use a PLC or Microcontroller to process the inputs (staging, reaction time, 8th mile time, etc.) and output them as lighting on the tree and also show the times. It is supposed to run on its own when both cars stage (as it would on a real strip). He understands the logic and should be able to program everything but doesn't know which components would be best to use at such a small scale (especially which to use to detect the vehicles presence).
