DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

From Concept to Field Deployment

01

Game Concept

Player interaction, win conditions, feedback and safety requirements are defined before construction begins.

02

Hardware Design

The enclosure, controls, battery system, indicators and internal component layout are planned around field use.

03

Electronics

Wiring, soldering, switches, processors, speakers and displays are assembled and electrically inspected.

04

Programming

Custom firmware controls timers, input validation, scoring, alarms and visual status feedback.

05

Bench Testing

Each function is repeatedly tested for incorrect input, battery behaviour, timing accuracy and component reliability.

06

Field Testing

The prop is tested during live games, with player feedback used to improve operation, durability and clarity.

Designed for practical field use

AOJ props are not pyrotechnic devices and contain no explosive material. They are electronic game equipment intended solely for controlled airsoft scenarios.
