More sensor boards would be necessary for the taggers being built. Eight PCBs and components were gathered. These would probably be put inline with light strips right on the sides of the taggers. The steps for assembling these sensors in an efficient way was eventually found by doing very small procedures on all the boards before moving to the next step, similar to factory work.
In the end, ten sensor boards were assembled with the full number of infrared sensors, four, on each board. Parts for four taggers were being assembled but there were enough parts for a fifth tagger already built but not enough sensors.

Eight sensor boards with long leads
In the end, ten sensor boards were assembled with the full number of infrared sensors, four, on each board. Parts for four taggers were being assembled but there were enough parts for a fifth tagger already built but not enough sensors.
