About the invention

Backyard Home Run Derby™ is an interactive backyard baseball game that uses a waterproof smart ball and a precision smart bat to instantly determine the result of every hit. No bases, no scorekeepers, no rules — swing, hit, and watch the ball light up to reveal the play. HOW IT WORKS The smart bat measures hit power, swing speed, and contact quality. The smart ball receives the data and immediately displays the result with bright LED colors. The ball stays lit until reset (manual button or 60-second auto-reset). COLOR-BASED SCORING • Purple = Single • Blue = Double • Orange = Triple • Green = Home Run • Yellow = Weak Hit • Red = Out SMART BALL: Waterproof foam, RGB LED ring, impact & motion sensors, USB-C rechargeable, manual + 60s auto reset. SMART BAT: Impact sensor, swing speed tracking, sweet-spot detection, comfort grip, wireless link to the ball. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Traditional backyard baseball relies on players to judge a hit. Backyard Home Run Derby™ removes the guesswork — the ball announces the result through color-coded lights, creating a fast, exciting, interactive experience. Tagline: Hit It. Watch It Glow. Every Hit Counts.

First sketch of AeroCube

Just an idea for now. The cube would be sealed glass on the front, so you can actually watch the moss.
