2020 Laser Tag Day

Laser Storm was the system celebrated on the 2020 International Laser Tag Day poster. The prototype equipment from which Laser Storm evolved was acquired from another company where Bob Cooney had involvement in a marketing role. The first equipment consisted of a waist belt which held an electronics/battery box component measuring approximately 6x4x3 inches and connected to a phaser that was called a “Disruptor 401-B” and a headset. Vests were later developed for players to wear. Players could target the phaser (often described as resembling a “dustbuster”), the headset or target pods. The target pods utilized a RAM chip and an operator could use Laser Storm’s StormTrak computer scoring system to adjust things like point values, frequency and duration for the target pods.
