[NSRCA-discussion] iPhone as judging aid

[Ed Alt]

Now all that is needed is a laser range finder and an iPhone app that integrates distance of the model to adjust for parallax, and we've really got something.

wow... folks go crazy when a judge holds up a pencil as a reference for a straight or vertical line-- Can't wait to hear the response to this! 
to my way of thinking, anything that helps the judge be CORRECT has to be better than judging the pilot's errors in geometry through the filter of the judge's misconceptions about geometry... there IS an absolute standard here - 
go for it!

What do you guys think about using the iphone as a judge aid?  What if I pulled my iPhone out and used the inclinometer app (i like "clinometer", very easy to see the numbers in the daylight) to aid in judging 45's and lines in general?  Would the fliers I am judging revolt?

I also plan on having the rulebook accessible as well.

There was talk a while back about using it as a scoring tool, that would be great but someone needs to write the app....

You won't see me doing this till next year, looks like my season is over due to my son's wedding in a couple weeks and then work travel on top of the PHX contest.  

Anyway, food for thought.
