This project is the next step forward for my 2013 Red Bull Creation Challenge entry called "Hive"

Hive was a system of wirelessly connected vests that were adorned with RGB LED strips. These LED's served to indicate which team a player was on and what they function was throughout a series of games. The games included:
Red vs. Blue - Teams were evenly split into two randomly at the start of the game. The objective was to turn all players to one color to win the game.
Humans vs. Zombies - One player was chosen at random at the start of the game to be the "Zombie" and must infect other players. Once a player turns they cannot be turned back.
Get them! - One player is chosen at random and everyone must try to tag this person, if the "chosen" one can survive for 10 seconds another player is picked at random until a person is tagged.
Duck-Duck-Goose - Players sit in a circle and one takes turns tapping a sitting "Duck" on the shoulder sensor. When they tap one on the shoulder and that players vest turns red they found the "Goose" and must run away before the goose gets up and tags them.
And more! Since this is an arduino based platform it gives everyone the chance to code their own games. The onboard suite of sensors gives access to a variety of additional variables.
