Bubble Hockey Modernization

Hello All,

I just picked up a decent bubble hockey table, not Chexx or anything. Anyway, I want to design an ice rink style score board, horn, goal lights, and automatic scoring. I am trying to decide on how to go about the scoring. I’m not sure I am confident enough in computer vision, but this would be an end goal of mine. Would a laser trip wire set up be adequate for scores?

Thanks,

-J
