Potentially silly idea, but could this be (cheaply) replicated by a phone with a slow motion camera pointed across the finish line and an armband with a QR code

Potentially silly idea, but could this be (cheaply) replicated by a phone with a slow motion camera pointed across the finish line and an armband with a QR code on it facing towards the camera?
- Cyph0n 11y agoI think RFID chips guarantee higher precision and much more reliable. If a leaf falls in front of the camera, or something suddenly changes in the background, that could easily distort the image.
