 In ths project, we will build a timing gate, a system that can measure the speed of a car.
 
-The timing gate is made of two sensors that can detect the moving car.
-When the car goes through the gate, it triggers each sensor and the micro:bit 
-records the times. The speed is then computed by dividing the distance between the sensors 
-by the time between each sensor trigger.

+The two gates are connected to the micro:bit and can detect a car passing through.

+As the car passes through the gate ``0``, it sends an event to the micro:bit through the [on pin pressed](/reference/input/on-pin-pressed) block.
+The micro:bit records the time in a variable ``t0``.

+The rest is a bit of math and physics. The time taken to cross the gates is computed as the difference of ``t1 - t0``.
+By dividing the distance between the gates by the duration, we get the speed of the car!

 ## Building the gate
 
 The sensor is made by tapping two strips of fail on the cardboard as close as possible.
