The best to reach the organizer of RI summer nerf league to message him on meetup or facebook group. A search will find the group.

The first step I would suggest is to go to an other war first to see how it is run. 

I am 13 years old, and I am very into nerf and modding. I personally prefer my modded Orange Mod Works stage 1 longshot as a primary, and secondaries vary. I love to mod but don't make homemades. I'd possibly be interested in meeting up for a SAMBO style war. I am also within a half hour of Boston; please contact me at pookman40@gmail.com if you're hosting anything. I've never really been to an actual war; just sitting at home shooting a wall all day. I'd be glad to finally get out there.

Just keep an eye on the war section, if a war is going to happen in Massachusetts it will be posted there. There is a super stock/sambo war in Rhode Island that will be starting back up in the spring for it's second year. I will make sure it will be posted on NH. 

It would be great there were other super stock wars in the area as long as they are not on the same day. So just keep it in mind.

Registering is better so we know you are coming and incase of any last changes or updates.

Just to remind everyone the Rhode Island nerf war for April 16 is two weeks away. And we are up to 14 people attending.

Any interest in organizing a Mass Nerf War? 

With this thread, it seems there is interest. Someone need to step up, find a location and run a war.

Nerf war this Saturday September 24 in Abington MA. 

http://nerfhaven.com...-war-trial-run/

I will be there. Will we be near any trees/cover to keep my bag dry when it rains?

I would be bring Voberry darts. I am asking because I like to have an idea what I will be getting hit with and it wasn't stated. I found that my glasses are fine for eye pro with stock darts. Now I just need to check on travel.

What time will the war end around? And is it stock darts only?

Measured them, they're 9.5x13mm.

Heres 2 on the back of my Rayven.

That's look great. That right where I want it to be.

That's sweet looking, wouldn't be hard to include a reset switch near the mag release button especially in some battery guns

I was thinking of having it inside the mag well so putting a clip in would hit the switch and reset it.

Nice. How much were you thinking on selling a kit for?

I have been having an issue with installing an internal ammo counter that I have tried with counters form two different makers. The issue is that when the flywheel motors rev up, the counter resets. I actually have burnt out two arduinos. The blaster has a Dr Snikkas metal flywheel cage, MTB 130 rhinos, and is power by 3 IMRs for 11.1 volts. And the counter is power by 4 standard AA and have pretty thin wires,

If anyone know how to fix it or even just an idea, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Of course then its a matter of stopping it counting at the right value. Otherwise if you keep pulling the trigger it'd keep counting.

 

The 7 segment displays i used are about 18mm high from memory, they're the smallest i could find.

That's on the user to know what size clip they put in and how full it is. It just need to reset to 0 when the clip is change.

What the length of that display? That might work, I need to take a took on rayven where I want it.

How insulated are your motor wires? Proper silicone or teflon insulated 18 or 16awg?

Also, is there any electrical wiring in common between the board and your motors?

I believe the motor wires are 18 gauge I bought it from radio shack a long time ago.

There is no common wiring, each is on it's own system.

I am getting a new counter with an EMI decoupler in tomorrow. I will post how it goes and if it doesn't work, I will get pictures.

I am looking into making one but I would buy one to save me the time and headaches. I would gladly buy from Kingbob, seeing and reading about his counters on here.

I would want two changes that I will pay extra for:

-counts up instead of counting down 

-smaller 7 segment screen that can fit in the back of the top rail of a rayven.

Then I'm puzzled how activating your motors is burning out your board. I doubt there's enough inductive current able to be transmitted from the motors to the board's circuits to do it. Not with proper insulation on the 18awg.

Does the board fry when there's a dart passing through the IR beam or when the motors spin up regardless of if there's a dart breaking the beam or not?

The burning out the board was probably my fault, But that haven't be main issue. The main issue is that when I rev the motors it resets the counter. I am in the process of changing out the wiring to 18 gauge with insulation of 0.82 instant of 0.42. 

The insulation shouldn't make any difference in this case.  The only real reason that silicone insulation is preferred is the flexibility provided.  I doubt that there is enough voltage being generated by the field to break through the insulation and the air gap.  However, I would not be surprised if the EMI from the current driving the motors were high enough to induce enough current to zap the data lines.

 Is there any way to protect from that?

Is your board isolated from the motors electrically? That is, your ammo counting board has no electrical connections to the motor circuits?

Also, what blaster is this? Rapidstrike, hyperfire, or a stryfe variant (stryfe, raven, demolisher, or other mechanical pusher blaster)?

How are you counting shots, btw?

The wires for both the motor and counter run next to each other down the my strayven. And the shots are counter by IR sensors attach to the brass  barrel of the flywheel cage.

For me driving alone, any super stock war within 2 hours (each way) of me I will go to. And possibly up 3 hours and up under the right situation. I would be willing to spend extra money for a hotel for multi days/events or better yet a scenario war.

Remember the war is next Saturday.

Can anyone tell me where I can get a voltmeter that can handle 15 volts for my blaster?

The turn out for the first war of the season was great. With reviling that the organizer bought not just 1 but 3 time cubes for King of the Hill and someone else making two big flags(one red and one blue) for flag games.

Due to a forecast of rain tomorrow this war is postponed to Saturday May 28th. Sorry! Hopefully the weather will cooperate next week.

The war is tomorrow. Hope to see new faces and more modded blasters.

War is this Saturday and the location has been updated.

I'd probably show up if the event was from 10am - 5pm to justify driving all the way, and if there was more to play than just super stock. 

That's just my two cents, but there's probably many people that feel just like I do. 

Others have said that but not as nicely as you did. The true of it is that our group doesn't really have a base interest for nic. We don't have any nic blasters and only two of us have talk about making a trip to NENO event someday. And the most of ours players are younger age and pretty green to modding so nic is out of there ability and parents' comfort zone. So nic rounds would not be well receive and we have check with a numbers of our players. That being said if some day if our group gets interest enough into nic, we will host a nic war.

This wasn't meant to be directed at you, Lucian. It was just a good time and opportunity to explain before someone say something along the lines of 'allow nic and you will double your numbers' which the opposite is more likely to happen. 

Massachusetts Nerf War- Trial Run
