One team surveills an area using wireless webcams and microphones, while another team tries to accomplish goals without being spotted.
The setup
The "cops" team stays in a control room, using an array of surveillance devices to monitor the playing area of the game.
Depending on budget/technical knowhow, these could include:
- a simple webcam
- a webcam which can pan, tilt and maybe zoom under remote control
- sensors which alert the cops when someone walks along a particular corridor (which is not visible on camera)
- a wireless mic
- a wireless mic mounted on a remote control car (which they can steer by watching it on one of the cameras)
- a remote control car with both mic and webcam
- a webcam/mic mounted on a remote control blimp
The opposing team of "subversives" could have anti-surveillance devices, including:
- laser pointers (for dazzling fixed cams)
- halogen lanterns (should be bright enough to dazzle cameras temporarily, but battery life will not last the whole game)
- fog guns/smoke sprays
- white noise generators
Goals
The "subversives" team has a list of missions which it must accomplish.
