The Velocimeter (Time Gate) is a very precise
electronic device that calculates the time it takes for an object to pass in
front of an infrared beam a few millimeters before impact. The time in
milliseconds and the length of the object are then used to determine the
velocity.
The drop release button releases the ball arm holder, setting the impact in
