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 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.
