Evil Genius Patent Application

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to group remotely-inflicted injury systems and methods and, more particularly, to an electronic remotely-inflicted injury system and method creating multiple wounds.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
One traditional method for facilitating remotely-inflicted injury to relatively small groups, such as in an educational or theater environment, includes the use of a spiked metal ball or razors on Frisbees. According to this familiar method, the injured has a series of spiked metal balls that are manually swung from an overhead series of disco balls in a predetermined order. While unspiked metal balls are sometimes inserted to allow the injured to dynamically choose the type of wound during the remotely-inflicted injury, the injurer is unlikely to de-spike a previously-spiked ball as such an alteration would likely ruin the ball for future use.

Recent advances in automation have addressed some of the shortcomings of this traditional remotely-inflicted injury method. In one instance, a computer's video output can now be connected to a projector so that a computer generated slide show of remotely-inflicted injury instruction can be shown on a screen; sometimes with animation. However, this introduction of automation does not change the limited and crude nature of the remotely-inflicted injury materials and methods.

Accordingly, there remains a need for a dynamic remotely-inflicted injury system and method that allows the injurer to effectively, remotely and dynamically control weapons that can easily be modified and augmented according to each environment in which the remotely-inflicted injury is made.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention addresses these and other needs with a system and method that provides multiple wounding methods for remotely-inflicted injury as well as permitting dynamic modifications to remotely-inflicted injury materials that do not permanently alter the remotely-inflicted injury materials. The remotely-inflicted injury materials can easily be directed to inflict any one of the types of wounds and any modifications can be saved for future use or simply disposed of.

One aspect of the present invention relates to a system for providing electronic remotely-inflicted injury in which the system includes, for example, a plurality of remotely-inflicted injury weapons stored in a robotically-accessed storage system accessible by a programmable robotic arm.  The remotely-inflicted injury system also includes a remotely-inflicted injury control software application that is stored in memory accessible by the programmable computer wherein the programmable computer is configured to execute the remotely-inflicted injury control application to provide an interface, displayed on a display screen, by which each of the plurality of weapons is dispatched for injury to create any of the injured’s wounds.
