Can I use Dashr 2.0 to time a 100 m or 200 m sprint?

With the new Dashr Blue lasers you can do a 100m sprint. We have an upgrade program going on if you would like to take advantage of it.

Appreciate the feedback! We are on schedule to release a 100m+ update in January. We hope it will be of great use to our customers.

Hey John! Great question. First off, the current system is limited to 60yd (though we are working on an update to get that up over 100m and allow for timing anywhere on the track) so you would not be able to do the 200m. Second, you are not able to start a new time while one is still taking place. So unfortunately I have a lot of nos for you here... sorry. But given that we have been historically limited to 60yds, we have had short runs and never received this request - we may be able to build it in down the road.

One example I do have that is somewhat similar to this is a group that was doing 100m sprints and had our gates set-up for the final 10. Kids would take off 2 sec apart and their final 10m was recorded - one after another. Not the whole sprint, but a way to investigate a certain part of it and encourage the athlete to push through the finish.

Hey Dave, you would need to have multiple lanes set-up, each with its own timing gates and phone/tablet to control it. So for a 20m fly you would need 2 gates (start/stop), the Elite Kit with 4 gates would allow you to have 2 athletes running at the same time - assuming you had a device to control each lane (add on a Dash kit for each additional lane, or multiple Elite kits for larger numbers of lanes). For example, our larger combine events might have 4-6 lanes of the 40 yd dash running at the same time.
