MilesTag - DIY Laser Tag System

Last weekend my nephew had a laser tag party to celebrate his 12th birthday. It was my first time playing, and despite flakey guns and vests, it was a blast and a great workout. I was wondering then what it would take to make a home grown system to play. By chance, MAKE posts this link on their site a few days later.

MilesTag is the product of our ongoing efforts to design a high-quality, full-featured “laser tag” gaming system that is comparable to the best commercial systems on the market (honestly, we think it already surpasses most of those systems in both capability and flexibility) and can be built from readily- available parts for a fraction of the cost of a commercial system.
