Tech Notes

During game play, the health level of the competing Tekken characters is read out from a secondary monitor using a series of photoresisters coupled with capacitors. As the heath bar changes from blue to red, the photoresisters change their output. In turn, this changes the discharge time of the capicitor. This discharge time is read by a basic stamp microcontroller. If the discharge time indicates that the health level has dropped, the microcontroller activates a switch which connects the contestant to an electric current. The electric current is supplied by a PSG-MAX unit manufactured by the Folsom Electric Company.
