Incoming! BFS launches new SATR Software

Renowned live gaming software developer and laser tag manufacturer Battlefield Sports is releasing a new version of its patented laser tag system SATR. Battlefield Sports has a history of tapping into the live gaming zeitgeist with its innovations.

SATR which stands for Small Arms Transmitter Receiver is the company's world-famous patented technology. Orginally launched in 2017, Battlefield Sports had refined the third-gen SATR system (SATR3) with years of bug fixed and feature adds.

The scoreboard system SATR-GO has been made to integrate with the SATR3 system.

The latest release of the SATR-GO app allows you to score the Hot Spots mission. This is game has Battlefield Sports' seal of approval. After running the mission with a variety of groups and in at a variety of locations, Hot Spots has emerged as the new "winner" between all the game modes on offer.

WHAT CAN SATR-GO DO?

The SATR3 system offered a massive range of functionality. Nearing on 10 years of development, the system incorporates many requested features. 

The SATR-GO system allows you to use a select series of fuctions right from the scoreboard. While it doesn't entirely replace the controller, it does allow you to act on the fly.

This scoreboard displayed the scores for Red and Blue teams (in some themes they are called "Alpha" and "Bravo").

START & END

One of the key features of the SATR-GO app is the ability to start and end missions directly from the app. You can also set a timer. This saves you from switching between your controller and the scoreboard as often. If a timer has been set, the SATR-GO app will automatically end the mission when the timer runs out.

BRIEFING

This option was introduced in SATR3. The Briefing command pauses all players and Battle Boxes on the field. It silences the taggers, meaning when the players pull the trigger the device doesn't make a noise. This allows you to give instructions.

Plus, Briefing clears all the stats.

In SATR3.21, the system retains statistics between restarts. That means that if the device needs to reboot itself for whatever reason (for example, the player drops their tagger and it lands hard), the tagger continues as if nothing happened. This increases player satisfaction!

When starting a new session, the Briefing command will set everyone's stats back to 0. This includes the Battle Boxes, so that each team's scores will be correct.

HINT: like with all commands listed here, this can also be done with the controller.

SWITCH BOX TEAMS

This fuction makes managing a session super easy.

You can run a group of 30 or so people on one staff member with the SATR3 system.

Switch Box Teams means you don't need to manually change the team over after each game. With a click of a button, boxes assigned to Red Team are now assigned to Blue Team and vice versa.

One of the major benefits of SATR 3 technology over earlier-generation systems is the much better staff-to-player ratio. The saving in staff costs is where SATR proves it has an excellent return on investment.

PHRASES

Another session management feature.

Phrases allows you to play a series of pre-recorded phrases to every player on the field. Combine "Change Ends" with the Switch Box Team option, and save your voice. Players are informed they need to change ends, regardless of where they might be on the field.

RUN A VARIETY OF MISSIONS

The SATR3 and SATR-GO programs allow you to run a variety of recommended missions.

You can choose the mission on your controller or on the scoreboard and get regular updates. 

THEMED SCOREBOARDS

SATR-GO has different scoreboards with different backgrounds & terminology to reflected the chosen theme.
