[Sportsandrec] family yard sports

[JUSTIN LOUCHART]

Different frisbees are built in different ways, but the commonplace
model is one where the circuitry releasing the audio output is in a
parallel balance to the rest of the device, the multiple poly-carbons
blended separately but threaded together near seamlessly. You
essentially have a soundboard built into the frisbee that lies flat to
the plain of the device, adding little weight and virtually no change
of aerodynamics.

Soccer is another great sport for blind folks, as well as basketball.


 Not being up to speed on blindness slang, I'm off to Google what a "blink" is.

Thanks, have a good night,
Justin
