+LED Roller Derby Scoreboard
+===========================
+
+A do-it-yourself LED Roller Derby scoreboard.
+It's visible in full sunlight,
+doesn't use a computer at all,
+and can be easily operated by an 8-year-old.
+
+If you're looking for a software scoreboard (using a projector)
+this [list of free derby scoreboard software](http://woozle.org/scoreboard/others.html) will help.
+
+This scoreboard is operated with a Nintendo controller,
+and runs on an XBox 360 power supply.
+The rest of the parts need to be ordered from various sources online.
+The total should come out to around $200,
+with plenty of options for upgrades.
+
+It will take about 6 weeks of work,
+and requires basic electronics understanding and
+elementary soldering skills.
+I provide updated firmware,
+so unless you feel like modifying the MIT-licensed source code,
+you don't need to do any programming.
