How GoChip Works
-
The GoChip Activator continually brodcasts the current time
The activator receives the current time from GPS satellites. A wire loop set across the race course and connected to the activator acts as the antenna for communicating with GoChips.
-
A racer wearing a GoChip crosses the timing loop.
When the chip is in the middle of the loop, it records the time that loop is broadcasting. High precision sensors in the chip can detect the shape of the wire loop.
-
The Gochip sends that time to any nearby phones running the GoChip App.
If there are no phones nearby, it will keep trying for up to 72 hours. GoChip can store up to 30 times before it needs to communicate with the app.
-
The GoChip app sends all the race times to our website.
Race results are updated as soon as a time is received. If you don't have an internet connection, the app will store all the times it receives until the connection is restored.
