The wristband
The court wristband
Two buttons you can tell apart by touch, a light bar and a buzz. Small and light, so a player can wear it for the whole match.
Computer renders of the design, not photos. Shape and materials get settled in trials with the first clubs.

Buttons you find without looking
- The top button, with arrow-shaped ridges, gives the point to the other team.
- The bottom button, with dots on a slightly dished surface, gives the point to the wearer's team.
- Their shapes differ too, so sweaty fingers still tell them apart.
- The buttons are 3D printed and easy to replace.
Light and buzz
- Green and a short buzz: the point counted.
- Red and a long buzz: press again.
- Blue: connecting to the court box.
Size
- About 40 × 24 × 9 mm (goal).
- About 16 grams with the strap (goal).
- Curved to sit on the wrist.
What's inside

In development: the wristband hasn't been built yet. These pictures show the design.
