- End User Configurable - No Programming!
- Graphical Software Interface
- Room Control Software I/O interoperability
- Remote Room & Puzzle Monitoring and Management
- Simplified Wiring
Designed for maximum flexibility. With the ability to be transformed into a puzzle manager or room controller, our BAC V controller (formerly known as the Bad Ass Controller V) gives you control over customizing and configuring your puzzles or game room with just a few software changes through our graphical user interface, BAM 2.0. Adaptable for any configuration. Our low voltage, wall mountable BAC V is equipped to handle a wide variety of inputs and outputs of even the most demanding custom puzzles. With removable wire headers, eight (8) inputs, six (6) outputs and two (2) 10A output relays on board, the BAC V delivers maximum wiring simplicity, adaptability and safety.
Wide variety of pre-designed puzzles built in. The BAC V can be transformed into many puzzle types in minutes with just a few simple configuration settings. With the variety of input types available (open & closed switches, RFID, magnets, sound, knobs, etc.), combined with our wide variety of available game logic, set your creativity free! If you need something really special that's not already included, we would be happy to write something custom to accommodate your room's theme. (See the complete and growing list of included puzzles below) Remote Room and Puzzle Controls. Improve the user experience! The best player experience in an escape room comes when technology is seamless and "just works", making players wonder how an effect was achieved. The BAC has full Ethernet connectivity to your local network, and it can interface with common software packages to create these magical moments. It also improves your game control experience by making common tasks like starting a game, playing a video, providing hints, overriding a puzzle, etc possible over the network.
