Favero Scoring Machine CHIP Reviews
New Timing Chip for Full Arm Scoring Machines.Recent changes in the FIE rules for the 2004-2005 season regarding Sabre and Foil, brought about substantial changes in the way of fencing. For both coaches and fencers, it is surely very useful to realize that some hits, signalled with the traditional machine, are not signalled any more with the new machine. Regarding the changes, they are the followings:- for FOIL: The blocking time is reduced to 300msec (instead of 750msec)The impact-time is increased to 15msec (instead of 1-5msec)- for SABRE: Theblocking time is reduced to 120msec(instead of 325msec)Those who already own a Full-Arm-01, can assemble by him/her self this Kit, buying the only the chip to be inserted in the scoring machine.There are two version of the chip available. The "01" version allowes the machine to be switch back and forth between old and new timing. This is useful if the machine travels to tournaments that may or may not have the new timing (all machines must use the same timing at an event.)The "05" version is a single new timing chip that comes with appropriate paperwork and a tamper proof "T2005" sticker for the back of the machine.THE USFA HAS ADOPTED THESE CHANGES FOR THE 2004-05 SEASON
