Trying to track down information on the transponders and system for the racing series.

Confirmed working for Power Racing series! Link below.

Some other general information and findings.

The ilap system is composed of a
Encoder: (This USB's into your computer, and outputs eithernet to the bridge sensors.)
Bridge Sensors: Place these every 2 feet. They daisy chain with ethernet cable, and are what pickup the transponders.
Transponder: The official league uses a modified version of the Drone transponder, although the drone one appears to work.
DIY Transponder: Thus far the HackAday copy cats work about half the laps in a given race. More research is required.
