Concept and Motivation

• This project will allow both kids and adults to
  enjoy jump roping in an innovative way. Replacing
  regular jump ropes with a rope of led lights that
  change color and display words/images controlled
  by embedded components such as accelerometers,
  our project will also calculate / display
  calories burned.
• Kids are getting fat because they dont exercise
  any more. Jump roping is a good way of exercise.
  We expect our innovation to bring fun back to
  jump roping and keep kids healthy.
