Mud Masters
Real-time scoring system for GYMRACE fitness competitions
About
Complete product development from concept to delivered production units for Mud Masters' GYMRACE, a functional fitness competition held across Amsterdam, London, Utrecht, Paris, and Weeze. The Wall Balls station requires participants to complete 100 ball throws against a target, and this system automates the counting with real-time visual feedback. Took the project from initial idea through sensor evaluation, MVP prototype, and into full production. Designed custom 3D-printed mounts, built the complete software stack with a Node.js/TypeScript backend and branded React frontend, and created a plug-and-play kiosk image for true zero-configuration deployment. Assembled and delivered 50+ complete stations with 100+ sensors, automated build pipeline for SD card image generation, assembly instructions, BOM, wiring diagrams, and full source code handover. System operates fully standalone without internet connectivity.
